Émile-Auguste Ouchard (1900 – 1969) first studied with his father Émile François at the Mirecourt shop of Cuniot-Hury and began to assist him around 1913. Father and son continued to work together after Émile Francois opened his own shop in 1923, and Émile Auguste began to produce increasingly well-crafted work in collaboration. In 1938, he left to start his own firm in Paris, leaving his father in charge back in Mirecourt. At this point Ouchard 'fils' began to use a different brand, "E.A. Ouchard Paris." The heads of his bows are of increasing thickness and strength, and this gradual evolution marks the golden period of his production, roughly 1940-1960. Ouchard used four stamps over the course of his career that reflect his whereabouts: "E.A. Ouchard Fils," "E.A. Ouchard Paris," "Émile A. Ouchard New York," and "Émile A. Ouchard."This bow retains all of its original parts and is in a good state of preservation. Stamp: Emile A.
