Grand Piano Alternative Appraisal

Upright Piano with Matching Bench

This is an upright piano with a matching piano bench, crafted from what appears to be a medium-toned hardwood, likely walnut or mahogany, with a satin or semi-gloss finish. The piano exhibits classic styling, featuring fluted legs on the front, adorned with brass or gold-toned caps on the upper section and potentially brass ferrules at the feet, though these are partially obscured. The music stand boasts an ornate, carved or fretwork design in the center, characterized by interlocking scroll motifs, adding a decorative touch. The overall construction appears solid and well-made, indicating a reasonable quality instrument. There are no visible major damages such as deep gouges or cracks in the wood, but there might be minor surface scratches or wear consistent with its age and use. The finish shows a degree of patina, suggesting it is not a new instrument, potentially dating from the mid-20th century, perhaps the 1950s to 1970s, based on its design elements and lack of overtly modern features. The piano's overall condition appears to be good for its age, though an internal inspection would be needed to assess the mechanical components, keys, and soundboard. The matching bench is simple in design, providing a cohesive aesthetic. The item is currently used as a display surface, adorned with several framed photographs and floral arrangements.
