Violin bow by Charles Nicolas Bazin, Mirecourt, circa 1880
About Charles Nicolas Bazin
Charles Nicolas Bazin, often referred to as C.N. Bazin, was a distinguished French bow maker whose Mirecourt workshop employed many of the town’s finest craftsmen. He inherited the workshop from his father at just 18 years old and quickly proved to be an excellent businessman, supplying top-quality bows to many Parisian shops. His Tubbs model bows are particularly prized, representing some of the finest examples to leave the Bazin workshop.
