Antique Silver-Plated Walpot et Co. “Artistic” Cornet with gold washed bell manufactured in Brussels, Belgium. Likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. The cornet is entirely playable with all valves and tuning slides moving freely.
The mouthpiece is included. Also included is a wooden fitted case (believed to be from the same era, but not original to the instrument).
The cornet is silver plated with a gold wash on the inside of the bell. The instrument is in very good condition with no major dents, some minor tarnish on the silver, and a few blemishes (pictured)
