John Dilworth

LAFLEUR, Joseph René Born 1812, died 1874 Paris France. Son and successor of Jacques Lafleur, above. Active bowmaker from c.1830. Employed by Lupot from c.1833, and worked in the style of his master with low plain frogs. Established independently at 9 rue de Petit Carreau, and from 1849 at 2 Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle. May briefly have employed F. Peccatte. Apparently retired c.1865. Produced some eccentric and innovative work with laminated and reinforced sticks, but also many conventional and beautiful bows with excellent wood and fine playing qualities.
