Crafted in France circa 1780, the double action musical instrument features 36 recently replaced decorative strings to the gilt foliate faux rosewood sound board. The grained soundboard is further decorated on the inside with hand painted chinoiserie motifs. The fluted column is embellished at the neck with gilded floral and leaf decor. The base decorated with acanthus leaf motifs, is mounted with seven iron pedals over a scalloped plinth base. The Louis XV style music instrument is in good cosmetic condition commensurate with age and use (but likely needs repairs to work), and adorns a rich walnut patina finish with colorful hand painted Chinese people motifs. THIS PIECE LIKELY NEEDS REPAIRS FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY. WE ARE SELLING THIS AS IS.
Measures: 35" W x 23" D x 65.5" H. See less
