François Peccatte trained within the Mirecourt tradition and followed the powerful stylistic direction associated with his elder brother Dominique. His short career produced bows whose broad heads and vigorous construction can show both family influence and a distinct personal hand.
Seen within the wider history of french school bow making, the surviving work associated with François Peccatte is best understood through materials, construction, stylistic detail and comparison with authenticated examples. A brand alone is never conclusive.
