Louis Joseph Morizot-Mirecourt, France with Raffin certification BDH

Louis Joseph Morizot was born in 1874, the son of a metal worker and the nephew of Mirecourt bow maker, Nicolas Maline.  First apprenticed with Eugene Cuniot he then worked for Charles Nicolas Bazin.  Around 1914 Louis Joseph then began collaborating with Eugene Sartory whose style influenced his frog making for the rest of his career.  He opened his own business around 1919 and  five of his six sons began working in the shop leading to the formation of the partnership known as Louis Morizot & Fils (sons).  This partnership created one of the most successful bow shops in Mirecourt.  When Louis Joseph died in 1957 he left a legacy as one of the greatest and prolific bow makers in the 20th century.
