Violin bow by Georges Barjonnet, Mirecourt, circa 1940
About Georges Barjonnet
Georges Emile Barjonnet is one of the most underappreciated French bow makers of the 20th century. He spent his career working for other bow makers and firms, including Emile August Ouchard, Eugène Cuniot-Hury, the Thibouville-Lamy firm and finally Roger Gerome. Bows which bear his stamp are unusual: this has meant that his very fine work has gone less noticed than that of his peers.
