Cistre c. 1780

“Cistre” is a musical instrument created by Guillaume le Blond around 1780. This cittern is a type of stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body, a long neck, and a fretted fingerboard, which gives it a unique sound. The instrument is adorned with intricate details such as a decorative rosette and a fretboard inlaid with mother of pearl, creating a visually appealing piece of art. Le Blond, a renowned maker of musical instruments, crafted the cittern from a high-quality wood with great attention to detail.
