Jacques Lafleur
Bow maker
(1757 – 1833)
A Nancy-born bowmaker who worked first in Mirecourt before settling in Paris around 1783, Jacques Lafleur (1757–1833) ranks among the leading figures of his generation, and passed the craft on twice over: to his son Joseph René Lafleur, who succeeded him as pupil and heir to the Paris workshop, and to his nephew Louis Guillaume Martin, who took a different path from the family trade to found a long-running dynasty of harp makers — evidence that Mirecourt's family networks reached across instrument types, not only down the generations.
