Pierre Simon was a bow maker active in Paris during the nineteenth century. He produced bows for prominent Parisian instrument makers, including J. B. Vuillaume and Gand & Bernardel, whose names are stamped on the handles of his bows [4][5][7][8]. His bows are characterized by silver mounting and ebony frogs, often decorated with pearl eyes [4][5][6][7][9][10].
