Charles Claude Husson

Charles Claude Husson was born in Mirecourt in 1847. Early on, he worked for his father, Charles Claude Nicolas Husson, alongside Joseph Alfred Lamy and his step-brother, Joseph Arthur Vigneron. In 1873, he moved to Paris to work for J.B. Vuillaume. Unfortunately, Vuillaume died shortly after in 1875. During this time, Husson met François Nicolas Voirin, an accomplished bow maker who had also started out in Vuillaume’s shop. He worked for Voirin for many years before leaving Paris to work for the Gand & Bernardel Workshop. After many years, he set up his own workshop.

Husson was strongly inspired by the work of Voirin. His bows are known for their balance and stability.
