Eugene Nicolas Sartory

He is a well-known master of the 20th century.
Born in Mirecourt, France in 1871.
After learning bow making from his father, he honed his skills in various workshops, including Charles Pecatte, and met his master, Joseph Alfred Lamy.
His talent was recognized by his teacher, and at the age of 16 he won a gold medal at a competition in Brussels.
In 1889, at the age of 18, he established his own workshop in Paris.
He went on to win prizes in numerous competitions, including those in Lyon, Paris and Liège, and his fame spread throughout the world.
His style and production methods have had a great influence on subsequent makers, and he remains extremely important today.
In 1914, in addition to Paris, the company opened workshops in Mirecourt and Nancy.
At each workshop, assistants included JULES FETIQUE (Paris workshop), LOIUS MORIZOT (Mirecourt workshop), and LOUIS GILLET (Nancy workshop).
His pupils, including Andre Georges Richaume, also became excellent makers, and their techniques have been passed down to the present day.
