Tourte school eighteenth century bow c. 1780

Here is a delightful eighteenth century French violin bow made at a tumultuous time in French history leading up to the revolution. It has many similarities to both Tourte L’aine and his younger brother Francois Xavier Tourte. The profile of the front of the head is very much Francois Xavier whereas the throat is much more in keeping with Tourte L’aine.
