LUPOT, François (II) Born 1774 Orleans, died 1838 Paris France. Bow maker. Younger son and pupil of François Lupot (I), above. Began as a violin maker of unexceptional talent, but influenced by bows made by ‘Lolli’. Remained in Orleans for a short time after his father and brother removed to Paris, but once he joined them there, he evidently encountered F. Tourte. From the death of his father in 1804, he became more specialised in bow making, and may have worked as an assistant to L. Tourte. Established independently 1815 at 18 rue d’Angevilliers. After 1820 he branded the bows under the lapping, and initiated the ‘coulisse’ or underslide to the top face of the frog bearing on the stick. From 1830 his work is further refined, the use of octagonal sticks ending, replaced by generally round sticks and more delicate detailing. Assisted in this period by by J. R. Lafleur and D. Peccatte, the latter succeeding to the workshop in 1737. Gold mounts in general very rare, Lupot preferring nickel silver. Bows branded: LUPOT, in two different sizes, someties with A PARIS added. Violin label: François Lupot, Luthier / Élève de Antonius Stradivarius / Rue de Gramont à Paris l’an 1798 [Millant/Raffin]
