John Dilworth+
EURY, Jacob Born 1765 Mirecourt, died 1848, Versailles France. Bow maker. Son and pupil of François Eury. Called up for military service 1784-1792. Settled afterward in Paris. Made the acquaintance of F. Tourte who was a specially strong influence on his work. Established at 24 rue de Thionville in 1811, at 20 rue des Lyonnais 1812, and in 1819 at 27 rue Croix des Petits Champs where it is assumed he was associated with his neighbour Koliker. In 1820 he was at 12 rue de Billy and in 1822 at rue de la Clef. It is this period up to his retirement in 1848 from which his best work comes. Round and octagonal sticks. His heads uniquely have a flat chamfer up to the tip. Early frogs with a rounded heel and protective curved silver plate. Branded: ‘J. EURY’
Cecie Stainer+
A violin bow maker in Paris about 1810-30. He was working at 20, rue des Lyonnais-Saint-Jacques in 1820. His bows are justly celebrated, and are thought to rival even those of François Tourte. He generally marked them with his name.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Tüchtiger Geigenmacher, vielleicht der Vater des ausgezeichneten Pariser
Bogenmachers Eury. Dieser lebte von 1810—1830 in Paris und wohnte in der
Rue des Lyonnais St. Jacques No. 20. Seine Bögen tragen die Brandmarke
»Eury« und kommen denen von Fr. Tourte sehr nahe.
