Maker: Dominique Peccatte
Description: Son of Jean-Francois Peccatte, Dominique Peccatte was born in Mirecourt, France in 1810. At the young age 16, he was noticed for his skill in violin making and brought to Paris to work under J.B. Vuillaume. While in the capital, Vuillaume guided the young Dominique towards bow making. Initially, he was trained by the renowned J.P.M. Persoit until creating his own model based after that of Tourte and his mentor. With his incredible skill and talent, Dominique Peccatte created a legacy that would come unmatched by any bow maker save Tourte. This particular bow is in excellent condition; silver and ebony mounted, a stunning example of Dominique Peccatte’s finest work. With a bow of such quality accompanied by supreme balance and weight, it is only appropriate that it be owned by a prominent player or collector. Certified by Moennig and Paul Childs.
