Informations supplémentaires:
Seen in close-up, we see the keys of a Steinway grand piano. The esteemed manufacturer’s logo Steinway & Sons is written above the words Patent Grand and New York & Hamburg. This piano was part of an auction held by Bonhams of the contents of Stokesay House, a Victorian mansion that was locked up for decades but being sold off after the last member of the rich industrialist family of John Derby-Allcroft whose ancestors could no longer afford the property’s upkeep. Its contents of almost pristine collection of Victoriana personal effects and furniture, clothing, and memorabilia that was largely stored away from the fading and deteriorating qualities of daylight, went under the hammer and the house is now a hotel. The piano was in almost perfect working order apart from the yellowing ivory keys having been covered under cloth.
