Career
He is said to have been destined for greatness, but died at the age of 34 before reaching the height of his craft. Peccatte went to Paris for a short period early in his working life, then returned to Mirecourt and opened a shop in 1842, employing several workers to assist in his commercial production. "Indeed, much of François’ best work shows the strong influence of Dominique".
"François Peccatte, was also a fine bow maker who worked in Mirecourt.
He returned to Paris not long before his premature death.".
