A powerful and active violin bow made of first quality dark tropical wood, which produces a bright and sweet tone and was made in Mirecourt at the end of the 19th century around 1880. The stick is round and elastic, the reddish-brown wood has a wonderful texture and shine. The black ebony frog with minor traces of time has a clear shape and is fitted with a nickel silver mount.
