Maker: Francois Lupot II
Description: François Lupot II was born in Orleans and was first taught the art of violin making from his father, François I. His older brother, Nicolas Lupot, went on to be a renowned violin maker. It is unclear where François Lupot learned how to make bows, but his early work shows a pronounced Tourte influence and he seems to have worked for Leonard Tourte in Paris. Lupot set up his own firm in Paris in 1815 and quickly became a respected maker of high-quality bows.
