ARTS & CRAFTS ‘MANXMAN’ PIANO AND STOOL, CIRCA 1904 oak, ebonised and ivory keys, brass and wrought steel candle sconces, with STOOL, oak with brass hinges and later but period upholstered seat, bears ivorine label for LIBERTY & COpiano 148cm wide, 124cm high, 72cm deep, stool 93cm wide, 57cm high, 39cm deepProvenance: Collection of Gary Kemp, LondonNote: Upright pianos were generally perceived as ungainly and over-complicated designs and it wasn’t until the mid-1890s that design reformers attempted to reimagine the form. M.H. Baillie Scott's innovation, thought to derive from the form of an Elizabethan strongbox, was to enclose the keyboard, music stand and candleholders behind broad doors that rationalised the shape of the instrument. The result was a piece of drawing room furniture that is both cleverly functional and aesthetically pleasing. Baillie Scott first exhibited the piano at the Arts & Crafts exhibition of 1896. He moved to the Isle of Man in 1889 and hence this form of the piano is known as the ‘Manxman’. This example has been recently refurbished.Note: Sold in compliance with UK Government and APHA regulations, with (non-transferable) exemption registration reference ST7V3G8N.
