Here is a delightful bow by the greatest bow maker of all time bar none! Made circa 1860 it almost immediately suffered a break under the lapping, this occurred within the first twenty years as it has been repaired in the Vuillaume workshop by none other than the redoubtable Francois Viorin as his Vuillaume style frog and button are resplendent on the stick. The repair can be seen below and is utterly secure being a long scarf repair secured by two pernambuco plugs
Dominique Peccatte circa 1838
