A superb French certified violin bow by Louis Gillet, ca.1950.Very Nice!




A superb French violin bow made by Louis Gillet ca. 1950, certified by Isaac Salchow. This is a wonderful octagonal example made with an inspiration of Peccatte model. Gillet was an outstanding bow maker who worked with Sartory from 1934 until 1946. There are many similarities with Sartory work in this bow, specially in details of the frog and button. The bow is in a fine state of preservation. It is an outstanding playing bow with a soloist level handling and sound, probably one of the best examples from the maker's work. The stick is golden brown pernambuco with spectacular flames, the frog and button are ebony with silver mountings. The length of the stick is 72.9 cm and the weight of the bow is 60.5 g.
