Dominique & François Peccatte
Bow maker
–
Of the two Peccatte brothers who came from a family with a strong bow-making pedigree, it is Dominique who is ranked among the very greatest French bow makers of any generation — trained in Paris under Jean Pierre Marie Persoit, then carried through the workshops of Vuillaume-Leté and François Lupot II, before he arrived at his own independent model by 1837. His younger brother François, having mastered the craft in his own right, worked at Dominique's side in Paris and plainly took much of his style from him, though an early death in 1855 cut short whatever career he might have built independently; the family's bow-making line continued afterward through their nephew, Charles Peccatte.
