Hi, everyone. Who knows about Holdernesse & Holdernesse piano Co when it was established in London? and when it stopped manufacturing? I have a Holdernesse & Holdernesse piano. This piano was handcrafted with silk, candle holders and so on, but I don't know of this piano's history at all. I'm very grateful if someone can help me. thanks!

In 1899, Holdernesse & Holdernesse were at 105 New Oxford Street WC & 7 & 8 Maynard Street WC.

By 1906, Charles Holdernesse & Co. were at 7 & 8 Maynard Street WC; Black Horse Yard, Rathbone Place W.

Does your piano have addresses on it?
