Violin Bow by Etienne Pajeot

Étienne Pajeot (1791 – 1849) learned the trade early in the family workshop. Pajeot's brand first appears around 1815, and his early bows are very much in his father's style, with rather pointed heads and low, elongated frogs. Starting around 1820 a more personal approach is evident: heads are narrower, but of a wider profile, frogs are somewhat higher and often of ivory, and buttons are sometimes quite short, with octagonal rings. Pajeot was a consummate innovator as well as an exquisite craftsman, and he pioneered many new techniques in bow construction to protect and reinforce delicate areas. Experimentation with metal underslides and two models of self-rehairing frogs, both different from the models of J.B. Vuillaume made a particularly lasting impact on French bow making of the period.
