Talk:Antoine Vater

Source relating to Vater's retirement
Le Sieur Vater Facteur de Clavecins, donne avis, que sur le point de se retirer du Commerce, il lui reste nombre de bons Clavecins à vendre tant de Buckers [sic.] que de sa façon ; ce que l’on pourra voir chez lui à toute heure, rue Phelipeaux prés le Temple, dans la maison du sieur Nicole. [Mercure de France, July 1759, vol.1, p.211]

The following is my own liberal translation:


 * Mr. Vater, maker of harpsichords, gives notice that, being at the point of withdrawing from trade, there remains in his possession a number of good harpsichords for sale, by Ruckers as well as of his own making ; which one may view at his home at any hour, Rue Phelipeaux near the Temple, at the house of Mr. Nicole.
