Philipp Friedrich Wolff, Vienna

Hello!

Can somebody help me with age of my piano? It was made by Philipp Wolff (Wien), serial No. 1116. The only information I have is the medallion from World Exhibition in 1873. Another information - the builder's full name was Philipp Friedrich Wolff (or "Wolf").
Thanks in advance!
