By Cecie Stainer

Son of François Lupot (1736-1804); b. 1774, Orleans; d.Feb. 4, 1837, Paris. From 1815 until his death he worked in Paris at 18, rue d'Angivilliers at making bows only. He invented the " coulisse," or metal groove attached to the nut, and carefully fitted to the stick on which it works, a very useful contrivance, which has been in use ever since. He made beautiful bows, closely copied from the Tourte bow; they are still much liked.
