COLLENOT, Louis Born 1863 Rouvres-le Chétive, died 1933 Paris France. Grandson of F. Caussin. Pupil of H. Caussin. Worked for Derazey at Mirecourt 1876-1882. Assisted his uncle N. Caussin until 1889. Established in Rheims in 1897 where he was appointed maker to the conservatoire. Forced by the outbreak of war to return to Paris and joined Caressa & Français in 1915. Opened his own business in 1917 in rue Boursault, assisted by his sons. Credited with over 100 violins in classical Cremonese style with orange shaded varnish, and some more Stainer-type models with high arch. Very clean and well-finished workmanship.
