• Notes:
  John Broadwood and Sons, piano-makers to George III, adopted this form of inlaid trade label around 1800. This upright form of cabinet piano-forte, designed in the manner of a French cylinder bureau, was illustrated in Rudolph Ackermann's, 1811 Repository of Arts. Here it was noted that 'the elegance with which they are finished in the different manufactories on the metropolis, have long rendered them an indispensable article for apartments furnished, as well as in the simplist, as in the most costly style. Instruments of this kind, finished in mahogany are highly ornamental, but if in rose-wood and brass, they may be pronounced truly superb.'
