18th Century Pedal Harp by Jean-Henri Naderman

Item Details

Description

18th Century Pedal Harp by Jean-Henri Naderman.

C. 1778, France.

This is a 7 pedal harp handmade by the famous Parisian harp maker Jean-Henri Naderman. It is decorated in the best 18th-century aristocratic fashion with gold leaf encrusted detailing on the crown, neck, and shoulder. It is believed that this harp may have been built for Philipe Jacques-Meyer, a famous harp player, teacher and composer working in the late 1700's. There is handwriting found under the post in French "Meyer Le 15, 1778" which indicates the possible connection of Naderman and Meyer. The seven pedal harp was introduced in Paris at the end of the 18th century especially for aristocratic young women. Since Marie Antoinette was an accomplished harpist, and Naderman gifted her a harp for her arrivall in France, this harp most likely is also refered to as a Lois XVI harp or Louis Seize. Similar instruments designed by Naderman are on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and the Musical Instrument Museum (Brussels).

Jean-Henri Naderman was one of the leading harp-makers in Paris in the 18th century, and also a music publisher. He supplied the Royal Household with his instruments and wrote his music in classical style, with a large influence of the baroque. He had two sons, François Joseph Naderman, renowned harpist, and Henri Naderman, harp maker.

The is an antique 18th century harp that is without strings; careful installation is required to avoid structural damage, not only to the soundboard, but also to the rest of the instrument. Dimensions: 57 inches tall, 37 inches deep.
