Louis Gillet (born 1891) apprenticed with Thibouville-lamy in Mirecourt and worked there as a bow maker until WW1. After the war he joined the Laberte firm until 1926 when he set up his workshop at Châlon-sur-Saône. He worked with Eugene Sartory in Paris for 12 years, adopting his style. His bows have always been highly regarded, often in the style of Sartory.
