Jules Fétique

Jules Fétique (1875 in Mirecourt (Vosges) – 1951 in Gagny (Seine Saint Denis)) was a prominent French archetier from a family of bowmakers.

In 1902, Jules Fétique joined the workshop of Eugène Sartory in Paris with whom he remained until 1912.

In 1912 Jules Fétique worked with 'Caressa & Français' but maintained his collaboration with Eugène Sartory.

"Vigneron and Jules Fetique produced bows that at times could rival a Sartory in terms of strength and handling...." Stefan Hersh [1] "It is unfortunate that Jules Fetique bows are known as a poor man's Sartory (among professionals), because they are superb bows and deserve to be recognized on their own terms (as such).

- [2] Gennady Filimonov "The production of this craftsman is wide and of an excellent quality, but he, like Bernard Ouchard, having worked more for others than for himself, is less known.
