£ 35352.00
A bow maker, b. Sept. 8, 1850, at Mirecourt. In 1863, apprenticed in Mirecourt ; 1866-77, worked under the Gautrots at Chateau-Thierry ; then went to Paris to work with F. N. Voirin ; the latter dying in 1885, Lamy started his own business at 34, rue Poissonniere. He is a clever and conscientious workman, and his bows are as carefully finished as those of his old master. He brands his bows below the nut with " A. Lamy, a Paris." He was awarded a silver medal in 1889, a gold medal 1900.
