About Victor Fetique
One of the most renowned bow makers at the turn of the 20th century, Victor François Fétique (1872 - 1933) was born in Mirecourt, France into a family of luthiers. Son of violin maker Charles-Claude Fétique (1853 - 1911), Victor and his brother Jules Fétique (1875 - 1951) studied bow making in various Mirecourt workshops, including those of Jean-Baptiste Husson, Sigisbert Fourrier Maline, and Paul Émile Miquel, before working for Charles Nicolas Bazin II. Both brothers took jobs in Paris: Victor joined Caressa & Français in 1901, and Jules joined Eugéne Sartory's shop in 1902.
