Built in 1896, serial number 35393, case number R d 206 403, it is an overstrung, underdamper with a mahogany casing. This really is a special and rare piano – the only one that Eshelby Pianos has ever owned and we endeavour to conservatively restore it to retain its original personality and charm. The piano is an Arts and Crafts style of piano as designed by Walter Cave, English Architect and Interior Designer. Its case features sculptural candlesticks and ornate hinges; it has cabinet features and an ornate fretwork panel in a floral design behind its appealing music desk.
The DE 799 Bechstein Upright Pianoforte with matching stool is currently under restoration.
Sale price: R 150 000.00 (incl. VAT).
