Violin Bows -

Antique violin bows from France, Germany and England. Bows by French masters are sold with certificates of authenticity from World renowned experts.

Bows are our speciality and we like to stock a wide range of excellent bows at all price points, paying particular attention to excellent condition, craftsmanship and history.

Our stock changes more rapidly than we can update the website, so a vast number of bows won't feature on here. Please get in touch for our current offerings.

“The bow, that magic wand, by the aid of which the great artist affects both our heart and our imagination – that talisman which transports us beyond the visible world and causes us to experience the most ineffable delights of the ideal.”

- François-Joseph Fétis. 1856.
