The Maker
Charles Peccatte (1850–1918), son of François Peccatte and nephew of Dominique, came from a celebrated bow-making family. After his father’s death, he apprenticed with his stepfather Auguste Lenoble and later joined J.B. Vuillaume’s workshop in 1865, working under François Nicolas Voirin and producing bows closely modeled on Vuillaume’s style. After leaving in 1870, he supplemented his income with government work until gaining recognition with a Silver Medal at the 1885 Antwerp Exhibition. His later work, sometimes assisted by Eugène Sartory, reflects refined materials and strong, elegant heads.
