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.
