François Lupot II came from the celebrated Lupot family and established an important bow-making business in Paris. His workshop produced bows of strong classical character and later employed Dominique Peccatte, who succeeded to the premises after Lupot’s death.
Seen within the wider history of french school bow making, the surviving work associated with François Lupot II is best understood through materials, construction, stylistic detail and comparison with authenticated examples. A brand alone is never conclusive.
