No dates can be found as Gabriel Gaveau seems to not have left any or at all records for his inventory of pianos.  This fantastic made piano with Rosewood, and Violet wood and different rosewood Frise 'triangle design, is made in the style of Louis XIV.  Piano having finished on three carved and sculpted legs of Lions covered in gold leaf, as well the Lyra having the head of a Medusa and finishing brass pedals of fine sculpted quality.  The sound of this piano is a beautiful somewhat bright sound but shows the modern sounds of the time that fascinated the world. Having signs of earlier restoration, piano is in good working condition but may need some works still on the mechanics and strings.  Length of piano is 208cm. This is Model 2 of Gabriel Gaveau's models.
