Please note the condition before clicking Buy-it-now: The case is in. As it is much more elaborately decorated than many similar cabinet uprights made by Broadwood during this period. This makes me curious if this piano is from a special designer. Signed'Ormond' or'Armand' with the serial number on the back of the nameboard and on an inset in the first key. The serial number is 8008 which probably makes it from around 1844. Parchment nameboard cartouche reads'John Broadwood and Sons/ Makers to Her Majesty and the Royal Family/ Great Pulteney Street/ Golden Square/ London' Case mahogany with inlaid brass stringing. The nameboard and key surround pieces are of rosewood. In highly-figured mahogany with ornamental ormolu inlay. 1840s John Broadwood and Sons(London) six and a half octave cabinet upright piano forte.
