The Lyre is defined by Merriam-Webster as "a stringed instrument of the harp class having an approximately U-shaped frame and used by the ancient Greeks especially to accompany song and recitation". The Lyre Arm is an element of design that adds the shape of a lyre to furniture architecture and the decorative arts. The lyre arm design arises in many periods of furniture, including Neoclassical schools and in particular the American Federal Period and the Victorian era.
