Dominique Peccatte was a bow maker whose work is documented through multiple auction catalog entries. The catalog descriptions indicate that Peccatte produced bows for both violin and cello, with examples ranging from approximately 55 to 84.5 grams [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. His bows are characterized by round sticks with ebony frogs featuring pearl eyes and silver or nickel-mounted adjusters with two bands [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Some examples bear Peccatte's stamped signature on the handle, while others have been restamped or mounted with components from other makers, suggesting either later modification or the complex provenance typical of historical bow trading [1][2][3][4]. At least two bows in the documented record passed through the Rosenberg collection [5][6]. One cello bow was originally made for J.B. Vuillaume, a prominent Parisian violin maker, indicating Peccatte's professional connections within the 19th-century stringed instrument trade [1].
