John Dilworth

PAJEOT, Etienne Born 1791, died 1849 Mirecourt France. Important and extremely influential bow maker. Son and pupil of Louis Simon Pajeot, below. First branded bows from c.1815 in his father’s style with pointed heads and low frogs. His own style developed from c.1820, showing broader heads and higher frogs. Best period around 1840. Workshop operated on quite a commercial scale: N. R. Maire his closest aide; J. Fonclause, N. Mauchard, and N. Maline amongst those involved in the production. Contributed to N. Vuillaume’s ‘Stentor’ brand. His work is amongst the finest of all French bow makers, but it is noted that he never left Mirecourt and never came directly under the influence of Paris bow makers. Distinctively elegant tapering head, frog low and long with deep throat and extended ferrule, and silver plate on front face of frog beneath the stick. Various grades of furnishing. Pernambuco wood sticks, generally round and dark coloured. Many innovations in the frog and mechanisms. Exhibited in Mirecourt 1819. Branded: PAJEOT. [Millant/Raffin]
