About:
Louis Joseph Morizot known as ‘Morizot père 1874 - 1957  
Son of Nicolas Constant Morizot, metal worker, and his second wife Catherine Maline, Louis Morizot was born on March 22, 1874 in Darney (Vosges).
He married Marie Louise Bourbon and they had six children, five of whom became bowmakers, and one a violinmaker.
He began his training early, first with Eugène Cuniot (Cuniot-Hury), and then in the workshop of Charles Nicolas Bazin, which was considered almost obligatory for bowmakers at the time. His name appears on the list of workers for 1901 and 1906.
He remained with this firm until approximately 1914, after which he began working for Sartory. Nevertheless, his model remained close to that of Charles Nicolas Bazin, and he carried on using miter joints for a long time.
Sartory was called up for military service during World War I, but Louis Morizot was able to start collaborating with him again around 1918. He mainly made frogs and roughed out the sticks . He developed his model, which reached its almost final form about 1919, when he set up on his own account at 5 Rue St. Georges in Mirecourt, in a workshop made up of two separate rooms separated by a central hallway. He then made graceful and elegant bows with frogs which closely resemble those of Sartory. From 1920, his sons started to assist him.
Each year, Sartory returned to Mirecourt to visit his mother and collect his rent. One year, visiting Morizot père, he discovered, written over his doorway: “Louis Morizot, former worker of Eugène Sartory.” This was sufficient cause for a quarrel between these strong-willed men, and it meant the end of their relationship.
From 1925, thanks to his sons, Louis assumed a more and more important place in the world of bowmaking. He worked for all the Mirecourt violinmaking workshops, but also for many other firms in France. He also became well known abroad and, together with C. N. Bazin, seems to have been one of the two bowmakers to have worked for the largest number of violinmakers, bowmakers and dealers, in France and abroad. In 1927, he won the first prize at the Exposition Artisanale (Craftsmen's Exhibition).
Around 1933, he formed a partnership with his sons known as Louis Morizot & fils. Around 1937, the brothers moved to 39 Faubourg St. Vincent above a warehouse, on the first floor of a poky little house, up a dark, creaky staircase.
At 63, his sight deteriorating, Louis Morizot was forced to sell up. He nevertheless continued to assist his sons until after World War II. He worked with his son René, an established violinmaker, and devoted his last years to finishing practice bows for his five other sons. Together, they ensured the continuity of this famous firm.
Louis Morizot died on August 15, 1957, in Mirecourt. His name resonates today as one of the greatest and most productive Mirecourt bowmakers of the twentieth century. He left a number of well, perhaps very well constructed bows. Although occasionally his choice of blemished wood left something to be desired aesthetically, the balance and the playing qualities of the sticks remains unrivalled.
