13PACHERELE (Michel) — Mirecourt and Paris? circa 1800. Has made some very nice instruments, a little arched. Yellow varnish. Branded near the button. Guersan manner. No 295.
15PACHERELE (Pierre) — Nice, Genoa and Turin. Born at Mirecourt in 1803, died at Nice in 1871. Probably a relative of the one above, but there is no analogy in their work, this maker's being superior, especially as far as the instruments made in Italy are concerned. He has worked for Pressenda in Turin. His dark red varnish is of a fine composition but remains ineffective through its lack of transparency.
17PAGEOT (L.-S.) — Mirecourt towards 1800. Violin and bow maker.
19PAGEOT — Mirecourt 1791-1849. Son of the above mentioned. Bow maker of repute who has produced excellent sticks. On the other hand, a number of them are very ordinary. His best sticks, however, have genuine qualities. They are light, made of wood with large veins, usually light yellow in colour and gold mounted.
