A modern upright piano manufactured by Niemeyer, finished in a high-gloss polished dark mahogany-tone case. The instrument features a full 88-note keyboard and is supported by Queen Anne style cabriole front legs. The fallboard displays the maker’s name Niemeyer in applied metallic script. Internally, the piano utilizes an overstrung action with copper-wound bass strings, with the hammers and dampers appearing clean and well-maintained. The soundboard and back posts are constructed from light-coloured wood. Accompanying the piano is a matching height-adjustable duet bench with a dark-finished timber frame and twin-knob adjustment mechanisms, featuring a two-part padded seat upholstered in tan corduroy-style fabric. Also included is a single drawer, likely from a chest of drawers or commode, featuring a highly figured burr wood veneer front with decorative cast brass drop handles and an oak carcass. No serial number is clearly visible in the provided photographs.
Condition report:
The piano case is in good aesthetic condition with a well-preserved high-gloss finish. The internal action and strings appear clean and in good order. The duet bench shows light surface marking and minor staining to the upholstery consistent with use. The drawer is structurally sound with minor surface wear and small losses to the veneer commensurate with age.
