Joseph Arthur Vigneron (b. Mirecourt, 1851; d. Paris, 1905) was an important French Archetier / Bowmaker.
By 1888 he opened his own workshop at 54 Rue de Cléry, Paris (not far away from his colleague Joseph Alfred Lamy père).
Bows made by a man upon whom nature had bestowed a mind deeply sensitive of the beautiful, and highly cultivated by experience.'
Very elegant sticks with a fine and strong sway, and splendid heads overall giving the bow a uniquely individual playability.
Vigneron's bow heads resemble the Voirin school, and some have a feminine interpretation of a late period Pierre Simon.
While he cannot qualify as a consistently great maker, his best bows can be ranked with the finest of his day, showing elegant craftsmanship and made of superb quality pernambuco.
