JEAN PIERRE MARIE PERSOIT (or PERSOIS) (C. 1783/84 – AFTER 1854)
Very little is known about Jean Pierre Marie Persoit's early years and training. He began working with Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume around 1825, where he trained Dominique Peccatte, among others. In 1838, he set up his own business in Paris, where he probably spent the last years of his life. His bows are among the best and are comparable to those of François Xavier Tourte, his contemporary.
