A Franco-Flemish double-manual harpsichord, originally a 'transposing' harpsichord made in Antwerp in 1617 by Frans van Huffel.  It was given a bass ravalement in Paris sometime between 1742 and 1750.  It then received a major alteration when it was lavishly decorated, mostly by Francois Boucher, and given a bass ravalement by François Étienne Blanchet.  Later is was given a treble ravalement in 1786 by Jacques Barberini and Nicolas Hoffmann.
