Created in 1914, the Lelièvre house is constantly consolidating its position as a major and essential player in high-end upholstery fabric .
The creative know-how resulting from these experiences brings a real fashion spirit to the velvets, silks and other fabrics from this prestigious house.

One of the most important harp supplies has always been the chair or stool on which the musician sits.
Armless chairs are best, as the harpist's arms should not be obstructed by objects while playing.

This magnificent period piece responds in all respects to the essential qualities of a good posturology necessary for harpists.
