Marcel Charles Lapierre came from humble beginnings, child of a plasterer and a worker of the Laberte firm.  Marcel became a bowmaker and worked for a veritable “Who’s Who” of Mirecourt makers.  Jerome Thibouville-Lamy, Brouillier & Lotte, Francois Lotte, Louis Bazin, Morizot freres and Emile Auguste Ouchard are all shops he worked for before finally settling down in Mirecourt and opening his own shop.  His bows made pre-1960 are considered his best work and are in high demand.
