ANDRÉ GEORGES RICHAUME (1905 MIRECOURT – 1966 SURESNES)
Son of luthier Louis Justin Richaume, he learned bow making in Mirecourt and probably worked in Émile Ouchard's workshop. After his military service, he joined his uncle Victor Fétique in Paris in 1927. In 1932, he opened his own workshop in the capital and produced beautiful bows that became increasingly recognized. His brother Raymond Jules Louis Richaume, also a bow maker, remains little known as none of his work has been identified to date.
