Description:
The pierced, filigree music desk on this piano is in a scrolling, arabesque design with stylized flowers and a central lyre motif with gilt accents.
The two-pedal, square lyre design mimics the Malborough piano legs with applied fret carvings and classical meander ornaments and rinceaux in gilt detail.
The serpentine piano cheek features an oriental scene in embossed Japanning. Beneath the bows of a tree, beside a pagoda, a female figure stretches out her hand towards a seated man, fanning himself as a swallow flies overhead.
Cartouches feature on the cabinet, also highlighting rural scenes.
In one, a peacock sits in a tree, while in another, a man rows in a boat as a woman looks on, beside a pagoda and willow tree. Deer, birds, butterflies, and peacocks also star. The piano lid is encircled in a gilt strapwork design of interlocking squares and stylized flowers.
