Custom French Country Case w/ Distressed Marbleized Pearl Finish Trimmed In Aged Antique Gold Accents
The instrument was built by famous Rudolph Wurlitzer Company in 1916 and is one of their “Apollo” model parlor grand pianos. Prior to the Great Depression, Wurlitzer built very well made instruments. The quality and tone of these Pre-Depression Wurlitzer pianos were the instruments that made Wurlitzer a household name throughout the 20th Century.
This lovely piano was built as an extreme adaptation of The Louis XV Style which was influenced by the Baroque period in Europe centuries ago.
