  • Description: A rare and significant guitar built by J.A. Palm in Boston ca. 1900. Palm was a highly regarded builder at the turn of the 20th century with affiliations with the Vega Company . This is possibly the only surviving guitar by this maker and furthermore it was engraved by the famous artisan Icilio Consalvi, known as possibly the finest inlay artist and engraver of his time. Consalvi's work is featured in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.This instrument was in the James Bollman collection and he has substantiated in writing that he has seen only three examples of Palm’s work,“ This guitar and two bowl back mandolins, all with unmistakably Icilio Consalvi engraved inlays.” The guitar has had some restoration done to a very high standard.
