A violin bow by Louis Morizot père

Louis Joseph Morizot, or Morizot père, learned bow making from Eugene Cuniot Hury and Charles N Bazin, for whom he worked from about 1901 to about 1914. Morizot then began working for Sartory, though his model hewed closely to the work of Bazin and he continued to use miter joints for some time. By 1920 he had settled on a definitive model, which employs Sartory-style frogs and is generally refined and graceful.

This is a very beautiful example made for the violin make Apparut a Paris. Mint condition. Raffin certificate, 59.5 grams.

Price range: £6,000 - £14,000
