John Dilworth

PECCATTE, Dominique Born 1810, died 1874 Mirecourt France. Brother of Francois, below. Highly important and influential bow maker, ranked second in importance to Tourte. In some ways the Guarneri del Gesù to Tourte’s Stradivari, he is known for a flexible and instinctive mastery of his craft. Apprenticed as a violin maker in Mirecourt at the suggestion of N. F. Vuillaume, he later worked for J. B. Vuillaume in Paris 1826-1836. Taught bow making there by J. P. M. Persois and possibly F. Tourte. Succeeded to workshop of François Lupot at 18 rue d’Angervillers 1838, the start of his best period. Joined by his brother François c.1841, and employed Henry in the workshop, which he left in the hands of P. Simon when he moved back to Mirecourt in 1847, working in family home in rue des Vosges. Moved to rue des Cloîtres 1852, and seems to have retired c.1872. He worked excellently and consistently to a fairly heavy model, which is very desirable for power and projection of sound in large concert halls. Generally round stick, but some octagonal bows known. The wood frequently has a faint snakewood-like figure. Most early work carries the Vuillaume brand, later he used the brand, PECCATTE on one side of the handle, with PARIS on the other, but did not apply it in all cases. [Millant/Raffin]
