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!
Pierre Simon circa 1870
Pierre Simon served his apprenticeship in Mirecourt before arriving in Paris around 1838 to work with his childhood friend Dominique Peccatte. Two years later he joined the Vuillaume workshop and as Bernard Millant states ‘there he produced many fine, well made bows’.
In beautiful condition it is ready to go having been restored in our Spanish workshop to a first class condition.

Complete with a certificate from Stephan Jansen this superb bow is in wonderful condition save a small repair to the head that is difficult to detect. Circa 1855 and made for J B Vuillaume, (although he left the workshop in 1844 he continued for many years to provide the Vuillaume with bows). The bow is stamped Vuillaume a Paris.
