UP FOR SALE IS A RARE ANTIQUE COTTAGE / BOUDOIR SIZE UPRIGHT PIANO; CIRCA 1914… THIS IS A SMALLER VERSION OF A STANDARD UPRIGHT PIANO, WITH ONLY 61 KEYS. (25 BLACK & 36 WHITE) MANUFACTURED THE SAME YEAR AS THE START OF WWI… MOST HOMES DURING THIS ERA WERE VERY SMALL, COTTAGE SIZE, AND A SMALLER PIANO WAS A BETTER FIT… ALSO KNOWN AS THE BOUDOIR SIZE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR PIANOS TO BE IN ONE’S BEDROOM AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST A POPULAR PIANO IN SALOONS. THE LABELS ON THE BACK OF THE PIANO, ARE ALSO SIGNIFICANT OF THE ERA; LABELS ARE SHOWN IN PHOTO # 12 AND READ: MADE IN AMERICA FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MUSIC, # A45440 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION MUSIC MERCHANTS & NATIONAL PIANO MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION. THE SERIAL # 259433 IS LOCATED INSIDE THE UPPER HALF OF THE PIANO, SHOWN IN PHOTO # 3. THE ID # 44 C 14 IS LOCATED INSIDE THE LOWER HALF OF THE PIANO, SHOWN IN PHOTO # 5. THE TOP FRONT PANEL LIFTS UP AND SLIDES UNDER THE LID TO EXPOSE THE STRINGS, etc. SHOWN IN PHOTO # 8 AND THE BOTTOM FRONT PANEL LIFTS OFF BY RELEASING A SPRING UNDER THE KEYBOARD, PHOTO # 4. WE ARE NOT SURE, BUT BELIEVE THE NUMBER 14 IN THE ID# APPEARS TO BE INSIDE AN OUTLINE OF PENNSYLVANIA!! POSSIBLY WHERE THIS PIANO WAS MANUFACTURED?? APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS: 41 HEIGHT… 22 DEPTH (front edge to back) AS FOR THE CONDITION; THE PIANO NEEDS MUCH TLC, BUT GIVEN IT’S AGE OF 100+ YEARS AND THE RARITY OF IT’S SURVIVAL… IT IS A GREAT COLLECTIBLE!! THE UNIQUE ORNATE ARTWORK IS ECCENTRIC… YET BEAUTIFUL, WITH CHIPS & NICKS. NOW HAVING SAID THAT, WE DO “NOT” KNOW WHAT ALL IT WILL NEED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. WE DO KNOW IT’S VERY DIRTY AND ALL THE KEYS WORK, THE ONE LEG HAS SOME DAMAGE, SHOWN IN PHOTO # 1O. MANY OF THE KEYS HAVE SMALL CHIPS ALONG THE FRONT EDGES AND THE KEYBOARD LID IS LOOSE. WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO ENJOY THIS VERY RARE, VERY OLD, 100+ YEARS OLD COLLECTIBLE PIANO AS IT IS OR CHOOSE TO RESTORE IT, COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DREAM OR A NIGHTMARE. YOU BE THE JUDGE!! NOTE: THIS PIANO IS SMALLER THAN A STANDARD UPRIGHT; BUT IT IS “HEAVY”. The item “RARE ANTIQUE 1914 COTTAGE / BOUDOIR SIZE ORNATE UPRIGHT PIANO (61 KEYS)” is in sale since Monday, May 21, 2018.
