76: A VIOLIN BOW BY ÉTIENNE PAJEOT


Stamped, "Pajeot."

Round stick. Silver mounted. 

59.5 grams

An iconic example of Étienne Pajeot’s best work, representing the maker at his most characteristic. The bow is distinguished by its refined proportions, elegant head, and confident, fluid workmanship, all preserved in notably fine condition. It is illustrated on Plate 10 of Sidney Bowden’s authoritative monograph, 'Pajeot Bow Makers of the 18th and 19th Centuries.'

Please note: Pernambuco bows shipped internationally after March 5 2026 will require a US CITES re-export permit and a CITES import permit from the destination country. The fee for the US permit is $120. If the bow is collected from our New York office, or shipped domestically within the US, no permits are required.
