Steinway & Sons Concert Grand Piano

This set of model elements accompanied by plans constitutes part of the project to redevelop the Hursley Park mansion, also called ， commissioned by the Coopers family who acquired it in 1902. The project is entrusted to the architect Scottish Alexander Marshall Mackenzie (1848-1933).

The model, representing the decorations, allows you to see all the opulence of the interior of Hursley House. Large openings hosting tapestries, highlighted by richly decorated woodwork, frame large doors or mirrors displaying large garlands of flowers. The main model presents an interior design project for the “Grand Salon”. Another part of the models is dedicated to the representation of a bedroom of Mrs. Gould, on cardboard made by Tochon-Lepage & Cie.

Rectangular in shape, the two longest walls of the room in turn present a decor decorated with tapestries and a series of three windows accompanied by a large mirror. The two smaller walls facing each other have on one side a fireplace topped...
