Eugene Nicolas Sartory
Paris, 1871–1946
Eugene Nicolas SARTORY (1871-1946) was a highly esteemed French bow maker, born in Mirecourt and active in Paris. A pupil of his father, Joseph Eustache, and trained by C. Peccatte and A. Lamy, he established his own workshop at the age of 18. He is recognized for his consistent work, often based on a strengthened Voirin model, evolving from early designs with nickel-silver fittings to later bows featuring richer decorations, gold, tortoiseshell, and 'Paris eyes'. His work earned him numerous international awards, including the Paris Grand Prize in 1900 and the title of 'Officier d'Academie'.

Maker Overview
Life
Eugene Nicolas SARTORY (1871-1946) was born in Mirecourt in 1871 and died in Paris, France in 1946. He was a bow maker, recognized as one of the finest archetiers of the twentieth century, responsible for sustaining the dominant French tradition. Son and pupil of Joseph Eustache, he worked for C. Peccatte and A. Lamy in Paris. He established himself independently in Paris from the age of 18 in 1889 at 12 boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle, moving to 13 rue du Faubourg Poissonière in 1902, and finally to 3 Trévise from 1912. By 1914, he was employing others in his shop, but the business was closed for the duration of the First World War while he was in National Service. From 1918, the shop flourished, and he delegated work to L. Morizot, J. Fétique, and L. Gillet. He also opened a branch in Le Perreux-sur-Marne, a suburb of the capital.
Characteristics
- Model
- His work was based on a strengthened Voirin model as more robust towards the head.
- Early Work Characteristics
- Early bows featured a low head, a plain eye on the frog, and were restricted to nickel-silver due to economic constraints. They were made from dark pernambuco wood.
- Later Work Characteristics
- Later bows exhibited a broader head, more intricate decoration, a deeper throat to the frog, and a slightly flattened oval cross-section to the stick. Fittings became richer and more diverse, incorporating gold, tortoiseshell, and elaborate 'Paris eyes' in the frog.
- Model Variations
- Tourte and Lupot models also appeared.
- Final Period
- In the final period, most bows were made with octagonal sticks of lighter color.
Influence and legacy
- Training: Eugene Nicolas Sartory was the son and pupil of Joseph Eustache. He also worked for Ch. Peccatte in Paris and perfected his skills with A. Lamy, with whom he stayed several years.
- Delegation: He delegated work to L. Morizot, J. Fétique, and L. Gillet.
- Awards: He was awarded honors at Brussels in 1887, Lyons in 1894, Liege in 1905, Milan in 1906, and London in 1908. He also received the Paris Grand Prize in 1900.
- Recognition: He was appointed 'Officier d'Academie', a division of the University of France.
