This movie prop , exceptionally beautiful, antique grand

mechanism is all original.
Erard pianos
were favoured by Haydin, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Liszt, and
Paderewski.
Erard
has been acclaimed for pianos of the highest quality.
The two
great French makers of pianos who were also at the cutting
edge of piano development during the nineteenth century were
Ignace Pleyel and Sebastien Erard, the latter being
responsible for the invention of the double escapement
mechanism that became part of the modern form of piano
action.
It is also
uncommon to see older French pianos in Australia as the
market was dominated initially by the English and then later
in the nineteenth century by the German manufacturers.
However, the Australian retail music firm of R.J Paling was
an importer of French pianos and was given an award at the
1879 Sydney International Exhibition for importing pianos
from France.
This
instrument is also significant as it not only features a
circular metallic plaque inside acknowledging Erard's prize
medal at the 1867 Paris International Exhibition but also
includes a second circular metallic plaque written in French
stating the instrument was manufactured for R.J Paling,
Melbourne and bearing the serial number 55590 dating the
instrument to 1876 (year stamped as 1876 at the back of the
each pedals). This confirms the piano was made quite early
in Paling's history which was established in the 1850s and
became one of the longest running music
retailers in Australia until their closure in the 1970s.
