Otto Seifert worked within Saxony’s mature specialist trade, producing bows based on successful French models. Good examples display strong sticks, neatly cut heads and careful fittings.
Seen within the wider history of german school bow making, the surviving work associated with Otto Seifert is best understood through materials, construction, stylistic detail and comparison with authenticated examples. A brand alone is never conclusive.
