Note:
Illustrated in American Antiques from Israel Sack Collection , Volume VII, pp. 1810-1811, P5029. Sack notes that the piano is also illustrated in Old Time New England Bulletin, 1978, "Pianoforte Manufacturing in 19th century Boston", Nancy A. Smith, figure 4. Sack notes that the original instrumentation is intact.
Babcock was a leading piano maker and his instruments had some of the most sophisticated cases made in the period. Similar Babcock pianos are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2001.364A,B) and the Smithsonian (1982.0434.01). Identical Babcock pianos are in the collection of the MFA Boston (1971.1130) and Winterthur (1989.0064). A third identical piano at Historic New England (2005.23.1) is discussed as part of the furnishings prepared in 1824 for Lafayette's visit to Boston (Mussey and Pearce, Rather Elegant than Showy, The Classical Furniture of Isaac Vowes pages 192-193).

Background on Important Private Collection from Boston:
I have been working with this collector for over 25 years, both in the initial acquisition of the objects and overseeing their conservation as needed. With a keen eye for quality and design, and a deep passion for all things classical, he has quietly amassed a top-notch collection of American furniture and decorative arts. The collection encompasses outstanding examples from the leading cabinetmakers of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, representing excellence in form and proportions, condition, wood quality, and carving. It also includes rare objects that are among the best of their kind. Now, with the downsizing of one of his properties, the offerings in this catalog are coming to market to find new owners who share a love for this remarkable period in American furniture history.
