The Harp
The Gaelic Harp features on the reverse of Irish coins to this day. The Harp has been revered in Irish culture since Henry V111 declared himself King of Ireland in 1531 when he had the Harp stamped on to the coinage of his "new realm"
At the end of the medieval period in our history because it was a symbol of Irish Pride it was banned from use.
Revived for it's music in the mid 1700's the Harp crept back into Irish music and symbolism.
The Wexford Insurgents in 1798 depicted the Harp on their flags as they fought at Vinegar Hill.
The oldest surviving Harp, from 1500, is on display in Trinity College, Dublin.
In 1862 it appeared as the Emblem for Guinness Brewery and later, facing the opposite way, in 1922 it became the official Irish Seal.
We are very proud of it!
