The Story Behind A Piano Baby:Most well-decorated Victorian parlors of the late 1800s and early 1900s had pianos draped with shawls. Something decorative was needed to hold those fabrics in place. From that necessity, piano babies were born and placed lovingly on top of the piano. DOES NOT COME WITH ORIGINAL BOX OR PAPERWORK *** Most of our items are pre-owned unless otherwise specified.
