Presented to you this day is a beautiful SMALL Antique Bisque Porcelain Piano Baby Holding a Cat. This little cutie has light brown hair, rosy cheeks, blue intaglio eyes and a very sweet adorable face. Is wearing a cream colored outfit with soft green highlights. This delightful little piano baby appears to be in very good used condition as there is only one issue as noted below. There are no nicks, other chips, scratches, missing paint or repairs anywhere. This is truly an estate find treasure. Does not come with original box or paperwork as it was purchased from a private estate sale where it was proudly displayed in owner's glass enclosed showcase for many years. This darling little piano baby measures approximately 6-1/2" long.
NO BOX but will be packaged with the utmost care to insure his/her safe arrival home to you.
ATTENTION: This piece is offered in AS IS CONDITION! The right paw of the cat is chipped as seen in picture # 2. Please, examine the
provided pictures. We offer this piece for a discounted rate due to not
being in perfect, pristine condition. It by no means detracts from the
beauty of this piece while being displayed and for those of you who do
not necessarily care if your item has a chip it's really a great buy at a
lower more affordable price. You are more then welcome to
ask any questions prior bidding.
The Story Behind A Piano Baby:
Most well-decorated Victorian parlors of the late 1800s and early 1900s
had pianos draped with shawls. Something decorative was needed to hold
those fabrics in place. From that necessity, piano babies were born and placed lovingly on top of the piano.
