This violin bow by François Nicolas Voirin was made around 1875 and is signed on the stick "F. N. VOIRIN A PARIS", above the frog, player's side. The round stick is cut from fine red-brown Pernambuco, of superb quality.

The ebony frog is mounted in silver, with pearl eyes, and a round ferrule of the Vuillaume type. The three-part ebony and silver button.

The bow weighs 58.7 g and is accompanied by a certificate from Jean-François Raffin, Yannick Le Canu and Sylvain Bigot (Paris, 2017), who describe it as a fine example in good condition.
