Summary
A wooden (varnished) grand piano for a doll's house. It stands on three circular legs, has a lid which opens to reveal the printed paper keys and a top which can be opened. The top is held on at one side with a piece of white tape which acts as a crude hinge, but has become unstuck from the piano case. On the other side is a nail which slots into a hole, but can be lifted out so that the nail is propped onto the top of the piano. The word 'Stote' is written in pencil on the base. It is accompanied by a wooden (varnished) piano stool. It has a solid rectangular seat with rounded sides and two solid pieces of wood for legs at either end. Total number of items is 2.
