Sorry, having read through the forum again I see that valuations aren't possible however any further information on the piano would be great.

Thank you

"Afternoon, this is my first post on the website and I'm enquiring about a Cramer, Beale & Co piano in walnut and brass fittings. It has candelabras on the front with a wooden frame. Made in Paris in 1844. If anyone has any information on this piano and a possible valuation would be much appreciated."

I would be interested to hear more about the piano, because there is a lot of wrong information published about this firm. Cramer Beale & Co. were not in Paris, but they did import pianos, so either they made it in London or it was made by someone else. Please email me, or look at the comments on value of Victorian pianos at my site. How did you arrive at 1844? And where in the world are you?

Your email showed that the piano action was made by De Rohden, Paris, and medals were mentioned from Paris expositions, silver in 1844 and 1849, gold in 1855. The piano would be after that exhibition.
