One of the finest archetiers after World War II, Jean-Jacques Millant studied with the Morizot family from 1946-1948 before working with his father and uncle, Roger and Max Millant. Setting up on his own in 1950, Millant developed a fine reputation, eventually being awarded the title of “One of the Best Craftsmen of France” in 1970. Around 1980 he only made bows mounted in ebony and gold. This is a great playing bow, strong and lithe, a classic example of his excellent work.
