Here is an Arts & Crafts Era Quarter Sawn Oak Piano. This is a real beauty for it's age. There is some signs of age, chips and the finish isn't the best. But it is real and is en perfect working order. This does need a tuning. The last tuning I can see inside is 1947. I've added all the pics I could think of to show both it's condition and beauty. Arts and Crafts Oak Pianos are very hard to find. This will have to be picked up or I can deliver it within 300 miles. I can not deliver it in doors unless it's to a garage or Front or back porch that I can back up to with a pick up! It's signed Rica and Son and right now I can not remember where it was made, but will check. I just received this information from the original manufacturers Grandson or Great Grandson. He didn't say. Luigi Ricca & Son, Hugo Ricca were the company principals. Luigi came from Italy with his family including young son, Hugo. They originally made a popular string instr7ument, and branched into pianos. Their trademark Baby Grand & Uprights were very popular and acclaimed pieces of work. The company made their instruments in New York, and later moved the factory to New Jersey. They enjoyed much success into the late 1940s', but with the introduction of TV after WWII, sales began to decline. Hugo Ricca, SR, and his wife, Regina had 3 sons, and 1 daughter. Two of his sons went to Fordham University, and Louis went to Georgetown University on a Track Scholarship. None of the 3rd Generation followed into the piano business, and the company was liquidated in 1951. Dave R. Ricca No Reserve on this Piano Thank you for looking at this Piano!
