Parisian work in the style of MARESCHAL. (1765-18..)<\/p>\n

Rosewood back and sides.<\/p>\n

Spruce top open by three half-moon sound holes and decorated with floral motifs in rosewood.<\/p>\n

Both ends of the lyre are surmounted by bronze eagle heads and are connected to the pegbox by two brass axes ending in bronze tassels.<\/p>\n

Rosewood terrace bordered by a brass molding.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Illustrating the craze for antiquity and its symbolic objects, the fashion for the guitar-lyre spread through Parisian salons at the end of the 18th century before developing in most European countries. First called \u201canacreontic lyre\u201d by its inventor, in homage to the Greek poet, the name of lyre, guitar-lyre or lyre-guitar is becoming widespread. Faced with the success of this instrument, especially with ladies, Pierre-Charles Mar\u00e9chal who claims its paternity publishes a warning entitled: \u00ab\u00a0Plagiarism denounced to musicians and lovers of new lyres invented by Mar\u00e9chal \u00e0 Paris\u00a0\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Unlike classical models, lyre-guitars rarely bear their maker’s mark, which is why it is difficult to attribute with certainty to Mar\u00e9chal the example presented here, despite the comparisons that can be made with certain instruments which bear his signature. The shape of the gills and the peg box denotes an Italian influence (Neapolitan school) while the pattern and the proportions remain typical of French aesthetics.<\/em><\/p>\n

NB: Some fractures have been glued. The missing eagle heads were molded from an original model.<\/em><\/p>\n
