Question
Good evening.

My name is Sebastian, I am in Ecuador and I am currently in position of what appears to be a Soufleto from 1849 serial number 2749. I was in the process of restoring the Piano and the person told me to check on the value of this piano as he fills it could be quite special. I was hoping you could help me with some information. Is winner of the medaille d'ore. I was hoping you could direct me in the way of finding information about this piano and what is the calculated selling value if this piano. It has beautiful adornments of gold frames and floral art work.

Hope to hear from you.

Regards,

Sebastian Moncayo
