Summary
A doll's house size model of a grand piano painted with black lacquer type paint (from 'Bella Vista' doll's house - inventory number 661761). A top panel is hinged to allow the music stand to be raised, this music stand is broken off (separate). The lid on the keyboard can be seen in the body of the piano, to be retrieved would require unscrewing the bottom underside panel of the piano. Only two legs remain attached to the piano, the second supporting leg at the keyboard end is separate and detached. The dowels are in place. It may well be that all the under base supports were detachable and that the foot pedal and single leg were glued after manufacture. Total number of items is 4.
