Beautiful early- to mid-19th century cello from Prague or Saxony

This much loved, unusual cello with a lovely deep chestnut varnish has been in my family for nearly 100 years. Having now converted to the double bass, I want to find it a new home where it will be played, enjoyed and loved. It is thought to be by a maker in Prague or Saxony in the first half of the 18th century, with a later addition of an English neck. Its unusual features include triple purfling (probably a double row put together) and slightly unusual dimensions, although it plays like any other full-size cello and makes a lovely rich sound. I am happy to include two bows (one good bow and another as spare) and an old but sturdy hard case. It is in a good, playable condition and can be viewed and played on request.
