Sotherbys valuation April 2001: 'A Mahogany Square Piano, early 19th century, by Goulding, D'Almaine, Potter & Co. Soho Square, London and 7 Westmoreland Street, Dublin, the case with stringing and brass mounts, fluted legs. £1500.00.' Depth 2 feet, Length 5'6", Height 2'10". (letter enclosed) This piano is a most elegant piece of furniture, with light wood and brass stringing, with age marks and small damage,to fretwork and top, missing a brass rosette at the rear (7 present and fitted) and a brass decoration on one draw front ( 3 present and fitted) One piece of brass stringing at the right hand side is detached, and needs fixing. The inner wood cover has some damage at the back edge, and I think one string is broken (supplied loose). Overall it looks quite stunning! The legs (6) and pedal leg are fixed (but unscrew for removal), and the three drawers (two side drawers and one one centre curved drawer shown in photo) are in working order. The interior is marked with the initials G.W.D no.2273. I am told that this may mean George Dettmer, a well-known maker. Other early tuning and repair marks are shown, and a good amount of provenance is included (see photo) including a fascinating letter sent from Dublin in 1939. The piano will need work and tuning, but my family have appreciated it as an intriguing sideboard for photographs and
