A gold-mounted violin bow by Joseph Henry
Paris, circa 1855
Joseph Henry, who worked for Georges Chanot, Dominique Peccatte, and probably in the workshop of J.B. Vuillaume in Paris, made this bow at the height of his career. The materials and workmanship are of the highest quality and the bow is original in all parts. It is no surprise that the world’s leading experts have used superlatives to describe this bow in their certificate. Gold-mounted bows made by Henry are rare, making this a highly collectable bow with superb playability and a range of silvery bright overtones. It is well balanced from tip to frog and has a strong stick.
