Rich. Lipp & Sohn

The piano we have just been given is clearly a Rich Lipp & Son. The inside left hand 'plate' shows a number (presumably the serial number?) 13171 with "Pianoforte fabrick" just below it (presumably the makers?) and "Rich Lipp & Sohn - Stuttgart" below that. The veneer is walnut and has a woodwork that could lend itself to Art Nouveau or the Art Deco period. If 13171 is the serial / model number, would anyone know the age of this piano?

"Pianoftre Fabrik" means piano makers. Lipp is the maker.
