| Chickering Square
Piano
Date: Ca.
1852
Serial #: 12449
Keyboard compass: 78
notes 6 ½ octave
Key covering: To be
recovered with best quality off white synthetic.
Cabinet: Rosewood
with rounded corners; rather plain case, typical of this time period
with 12 sided straight tapered legs. Wide solid rosewood slat
style music rack and replacement pedal lyre.
Dimensions: 72" x 35",
37" from top of case to floor.
Action: Early
style square action with intermediate levers. Overhead grand type
dampers with heads turned sideways. Full cast iron plate with
one continuous bridge; flat strung.
Good restorable condition for its age; case
is an old refinish job and should be redone; very much like Abraham
Lincoln's Chickering square piano.
