18th-century violin cases

Greetings everyone. I am an author of historical fiction on musical subjects. My most recent novel, "Liszt's Kiss," is about a young female pianist in cholera-ravaged Paris of 1832. I'm currently working on a novel that includes a violinist, and wondered if anyone here knows what late 18th-century violin cases would have been like.

Many thanks for your help!
