H.R Pfretzschner Pern Silver FM Cello Bow 4/4

Hermann Richard Pfretzschner (1857 – 1921) was, without question, one of the most important figures in the history of German bow making, Hermann Richard Pfretzschner initially studied with his father Carl Richard before working for one year in the shop of J.B. Vuillaume in Paris, in 1874. Though his time with Vuillaume was brief, the French influence proved to be a formative one in Pfretzschner's style and workmanship. 

Throughout his career the Pfretzschner workshop supplied unstamped bows to various firms in Germany and elsewhere, but bows made for the firm are almost uniformly stamped, "H.R. Pfretzschner." After being granted a noble title in 1901, he began to stamp a coat of arms on the frogs, and from 1910 to 1914 the shop maintained a branch in Dresden, branding its bows accordingly.
