Victor Thomassin is less well known than other members of his family, but there is no doubt his bows stand up to the family name. Born in Mirecourt in 1859, it is likely that he apprenticed with Charles N. Bazin before moving to Paris. In 1900, he left Paris for London where he spent the rest of his career making bows for various firms.
He made this copy of a bow by the great English maker James Tubbs, and it bears a facsimile of Tubbs’ brand.
