Charles Peccatte

In the majority of cases Charles Peccatte signed his bows with his name in full, which is also common practice in his uncle’s and father’s work.

Yet, the heads of his bows are strong, powerful, yet still complementary to the light, elegant style of that era.

After the death of his Mother, Charles, freed from his ties with Lenoble, moved into his new home and workshop on the Rue de Valois.

The chamfer on a Charles Peccatte tends to go a little higher into the throat (or the stick itself) on the audience side of the bow.

Charles was no exception, keeping certain family traditions alive, such as the ‘wide’ head model.
