Rebuilt at Cavendish Pianos, the UK’s only piano manufacturer, this Golden Age Sheraton style model O from 1908 has been lovingly rebuilt ready for the next 120 years.
As the UK’s only piano manufacturer, we are perhaps best placed to offer full Steinway rebuilt pianos. We undertake around three to four complete rebuilds per year. All parts are sourced from Steinway, Germany but all the work is undertaken in the UK.
Many Steinway for sale in the UK have been rebuilt abroad, often in Poland, we are proud that all our Steinway are rebuilt in this country and carry our lifetime warranty.
A rebuilt Steinway gives the “best of both worlds”, the precise feel of a new Steinway with the singing tone and unequalled craftsmanship of a Golden Age instrument.
Sheraton is one of the most influential names in furniture design, his work has become synonymous with the neoclassical period and can be found in mansions and manor houses across the country.
His catalogue of designs formed the basis of the modern furniture trade. However, Sheraton was not your average cabinet-maker. He has a unique backstory and world view that is worth exploring just as much as his furniture.
Sheraton saw himself as an inventor rather than a cabinet maker. In fact, he no longer made the furniture himself and only one physical design has ever been linked to his hand – everything else is simply of the period and directed by his publications.
Outside of his design business, Thomas Sheraton was a baptist preacher. He had an interest in mysticism and was not afraid of sharing his opinions. As well as his catalogues, Sheraton published religious works, where he detailed his life and work:
“I am a mechanic, and one who never received the advantages of a collegial or academical education…Having possessed a strong attachment and inclination for carving, in my youth, I was necessarily induced to make attempts in this art…”
Unfortunately, Sheraton died young and penniless despite his moderate success. It was said that he did too much, too quickly and without rest. His religious standing also saw him shy away from grandeur and luxuries, he died in a poor area of London wearing a faded and flea-ridden pastor’s cloak.
