John Brinsmead and Sons #49195

[Nataliya]

Hi,

Could you please help me to find any information on my piano.

I have an old piano from John Brinsmead and Sons, London.

I have located the serial number. It is 49195.

The text that I found says:

“Established in the reign of King William the Forth
By Special Appointment to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, H.R.H. Princess of Wales, H.R.H the King of Portugal, H.R.H. the King of Sweden & Norway, H.R.H. the King of Bavaria & H.M. the King of Italy.”

and:

“H.J.Goulden, 39&40, High Street, Canterbury; and at Aschford, Madstone, Dover, and Tunbridge Wells”

Would you kindly let me to know the history and the age of the piano.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Nataliya
