This is a small-scale piano composed of fine solid ribbon-grained mahogany throughout, i.e. the top lid, etc. is a solid one-piece mahogany board.  The piano has a magnificent satinwood surround with its original maker’s name and date, (see detail). 


This piano, interestingly, with its gilt mounts, is quite serviceable as a pier table, given its small, elegant dimensions.  All the ivory is retained and the works are all there, albeit this piano will need a good restoration, as it appears not to have been touched for many years. 



Height: 33 1/4 in.  Width: 64 1/2 in.  Depth: 24 in.
