The Stradivarius violin made by Italian master Antonio Stradivari was sold at Sotheby’s in London for 388,500 pounds. The anonymous private collector purchased it after pre-auction estimates suggested it could reach 450,000 pounds. Sotheby’s Tim Ingles noted the instrument’s characteristics are close to Stradivari’s instruments from the so-called 'golden period.'
