François Peccatte

} François Peccatte - (b Mirecourt, 10 March 1821; d Paris, 30 Oct 1855). Brother of (1) Dominique Peccatte and father to Charles Peccatte. A very talented and excellent archetier / bow maker who was destined for greatness, but unfortunately died much too young (and before his time at 34 years of age).

He went to Paris for a short period early in his working life, then returned to Mirecourt and opened a shop in 1842, employing several workers to assist in his commerical production. François had some association with his illustrious brother Dominique, presumably during his stay in Paris and again when Dominique returned to Mirecourt. Indeed, much of François’ best work shows the strong influence of Dominique. He returned to Paris not long before his premature death.
