Alfred Joseph Lamy

Mirecourt, Paris, 1850–1919

Alfred Joseph Lamy (1850-1919), known as 'Lamy Père', was a distinguished French bow maker born in Mirecourt and active in Paris. He apprenticed with C. C. N. Husson and worked for Gautrot and F. N. Voirin, whom he considered his true teacher. Establishing his own workshop at 34 rue Poissonnière in 1885, Lamy became renowned for his very fine bows, crafted in the Voirin tradition and including excellent copies of Tourte. He was recognized with a silver medal in 1889 and a gold medal in 1900 at the Paris exhibitions. His son, Hippolyte Camille, succeeded him in the business.

Maker Overview

Life

Alfred Joseph Lamy (1850-1919), known as 'Lamy Père', was born on September 8, 1850, in Mirecourt, France, and died in 1919 in Paris. He was the son of Jean Joseph Lamy., he was apprenticed to C. C. N. Husson and schooled in Vuillaume styles. He worked for Gautrot in Chateau-Thierry from 1868 to 1876, applying Husson methods and models. Subsequently, he was employed by F. N. Voirin in Paris, working there from 1877 to 1885. Lamy established his independent business in 1885 at 34 rue Poissonnière in Paris. John Dilworth highlights that he was one of the few classical archetiers who maintained his own distinct brand without having to supply dealers or violin makers who imposed their own. His sons, Georges Léon and Hippolyte Camille, assisted him in his work. Hippolyte Camille succeeded to the business in 1919, following Georges' death in the First World War in 1915.


Characteristics

Workmanship
Alfred Joseph Lamy was a clever and conscientious workman, whose bows were as carefully finished as those of his old master, F. N. Voirin. Willibald Leo Lütgendorff notes that he completely dedicated himself to bow making and brought it to great perfection.
Style
He produced very fine bows in the Voirin tradition and particularly fine copies of Tourte.
Materials & Characteristics
Early in his career, Lamy used octagonal sticks, but these were reserved for his early work only. His later work is distinguished by a slightly stronger head.

Influence and legacy

  • Apprenticeship: Alfred Joseph Lamy was apprenticed to C. C. N. Husson, beginning in 1862 or 1863 in Mirecourt, and Willibald Leo Lütgendorff.
  • Mentorship: He worked under the Gautrots in Chateau-Thierry and later for F. N. Voirin in Paris. Willibald Leo Lütgendorff notes that Lamy considered Voirin his 'eigentlichen Lehrer' (true teacher).
  • Stylistic Influence: He was schooled in Vuillaume styles and worked to Husson methods and models during his time with Gautrot. His bows are noted to be in the Voirin tradition.
  • Awards: Alfred Joseph Lamy was awarded medals in the Paris exhibitions, receiving a silver medal in 1889 and a gold medal in 1900, as confirmed by John Dilworth, Cecie Stainer, and Willibald Leo Lütgendorff.
  • Family Continuity: His sons, Georges Léon and Hippolyte Camille, assisted him in his workshop. Hippolyte Camille succeeded him in the business in 1919.

Worked for Gautrot in Chateau-Thierry 1868-1876, working to Husson methods and models. Subsequently employed by F. N. Voirin in Paris. Established independently from 1885 at 34 rue Poissonnière, and remained independent;, one of the few classical archetiers to maintain his own distinct brand without having to supply dealers or violin makers who imposed their own. Awarded medals in the Paris exhibitions of 1889 and 1900. Assisted by his sons Georges Léon and Hippolyte Camille, the latter succeeding to the business 1919 after Georges’ death in the First World War (1915). Very fine bows in the Voirin tradition and particularly fine copies of Tourte. Octagonal sticks used in early work only. Later work distinguished by a slightly stronger head. Branded: A. LAMY A PARIS or A.LAMY [Millant/Raffin]

A bow maker, b. Sept. 8, 1850, at Mirecourt. In 1863, apprenticed in Mirecourt ; 1866-77, worked under the Gautrots at Chateau-Thierry ; then went to Paris to work with F. N. Voirin ; the latter dying in 1885, Lamy started his own business at 34, rue Poissonniere.
He is a clever and conscientious workman, and his bows are as carefully finished as those of his old master. He brands his bows below the nut with ” A. Lamy, a Paris.” He was awarded a silver medal in 1889, a gold medal 1900.
