Pierre Simon school circa. 1860

Here is a French violin bow from perhaps the apogee of making, circa 1860.

As Jean-Francois Raffin states on the certificate it is an interesting specimen from this great school of bow making. In the workshop it transpired that the bow has beautiful pernambuco, not amourette. This bow provides a good route into fine bow ownership, a bow of this calibre shall undoubtedly put a smile on your face in performance.
