GEORGES FRÉDÉRIC SCHWARTZ (April 7, 1785, STRASBOURG – December 29, 1849, STRASBOURG) A native of Strasbourg, Georges Frédéric Schwartz, son of luthier Bernard Schwartz, learned the art of stringed instrument and bow making from his father. From the 1810s onwards, he specialized in making Tourte-style bows, paying particular attention to the choice of wood, which gave his creations exceptional sound qualities. Following his death, his nephew Théophile Wilhelm Schwartz took over the workshop and introduced a German influence while retaining the original iron stamps.
