    I recently purchased this harp at an estate sale in Georgia. The neck is broken and the strings are missing/damaged. However, the pedals, woodwork, gilding are all in pretty good shape.

    Does anyone know: (1) when this would have been made (around 1820?), (2) can it be restored and if so any recommendations on good restorers?, and (3) and idea what it is worth if restored?

    Thanks!

    Howard Bryan is known for his restorations and knowledge of antique harps.

    Yes I second the suggestion of Howard, who is excellent.

    There’s also a Yahoo chat group called AntiquePedalHarps which, while it doesn’t get a lot of traffic, does certainly have some knowledgeable and helpful brains on board:
