Pedal Harp 1750 - 1799

This 18th-century pedal harp, crafted by Renault & Chatelain, is a beautiful example of the instrument's evolution. The harp's intricate design features delicate carvings on the pillar and soundboard. The inclusion of pedals, a relatively new innovation at the time, allowed for greater chromatic flexibility, expanding the musical possibilities of the instrument. The harp's elegant form and detailed ornamentation reflect the sophisticated taste of the period and demonstrate the craftsmanship of its makers.
