Orchestral Horn 1830 - 1840

This Orchestral Horn, created by Tabard between 1830 and 1840, is an example of a musical instrument from the early 19th century. The horn, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is made of brass with an intricately decorated bell. The bell's design features a complex pattern that suggests a level of artistry beyond mere function. This artwork speaks to the craftsmanship and artistry of musical instrument makers during this period.
