ITEM SW00866: A Classical Gilt Stenciled Rosewood Square piano, L. Whiting,
New York, c.1830

This is a piano as found. Its case is in perfect condition retaining its original finish, stenciling and mounts. While the movement is untouched, restoration is required. This is truly a museum piece in its original state. Generally, the mounts are lost, surfaces are refinished and the stenciling long gone. This piano is a rare survivor, and a prize for any classical collection, as obviously, it is highly decorative, with a magnificent lyre foot pedal.
