Manxman Piano
Woodworker: M.H. Baillie ScottEnglish designer M.H. Baillie Scott (1865-1945) designed this piano in 1896. The case is thought to have been produced six years later by the Guild of Handicraft or the Pyghtle Works. It is constructed of ebonized mahogany, and decorated with pewter, mother of pearl, and marquetry in various stained woods. The handles and hinges are silver-plated. The movement was made by John Broadwood & Sons Ltd. in London. Photo courtesy V&A Images/Victoria and Albert Museum.
