A rare sight - two modele experimental Jean Jacques Millant bows

Jean Jacques Millant bows are highly desirable on the international market, his prices are very strong indeed.

From 1960-1970 he made his systeme brevete modele experimental bows, quickly bought by top performers (the octagonal one on this page was owned by Michael Rabin and sold through Peter Hembrough Bows some years ago) and shrewd collectors as it was known his output was slow and carefully judged.

Little is written about him and so early in the new year I will publish an article about this great maker drawing on reminiscences from colleagues who met and knew him.
