What do you think my antique piano's value is?
Here are the details:
John Broadwood & Sons Upright
Serial # 59191
approximately 1882
Cherry wood - little fading
All 85 keys ivory. no fading/chipping.
Hand-carved Victorian legs.
All screws and details are brass. including wheels on legs
Carvings on front cover, gold leafed.
Considering this piano is in immaculate condition, what would its value be around?
gtarczar and anyone else interested, all piano action is in working order, all strings in working order, and the sound board is in its original condition.
Its value is more of that of a piece of antique furniture than as a musical instrument. It is not a particularly sought after manufacturer. While the case sounds as if it is in great condition you did not mention if the soundboard is in good shape. Many of these older pianos may look great on the outside but inside the soundboard is often cracked or warped making it unable to be tuned correctly. Often times there is damage to the action requiring extensive repairs that could be more than the value of the instrument. You best bet is to have it inspected for damage by a local piano tuner and then have it appraised by both an antique piano dealer and an antique furniture shop.
