The Ligne Bohème product line is designed in the style of old French masters. The bow heads are fine and more stylish; the French frogs, the naturally colored sticks, and the conical buttons are reminiscent of a gone-by era.
François Lotte, a French luthier trained by Bazin and Cuniot-Hury, founded his business in Paris in 1926. He married Marguerite Ouchard, the sister of Émile Auguste Ouchard. Lotte's collection includes expertly crafted bows, some marked by the maker and others unmarked, with silver or nickel mounts.
