Lot 83
A William IV square piano contained in a rosewood case, raised on octagonal turned supports by Collard & Collard, retailed by Johnson & Co. £180-220

This lot has a fair few faults. It is missing one lug at the back, so the top is only connected on the left hand side. The back right leg has lost its thread and so does not presently attach properly. There are several areas where the veneer is lifting and the condition and colouring of the case is enhanced in the additional pictures - in reality, the colour if far flatter. There is some broken and missing fretwork to above the keys. There is ivory missing from the tops of 2 of the keys and the very far left C sharp, D & E do not work and neither do the very far right F & G. There are no pedals. The dimensions are 74\" in length x 33\" deep x 36\" high.
