The piano, serial no. 44741, is recorded in the Pleyel ‘Registre de fabrication’ for 1862 to 1868 as ‘queue p.p. [Petit Patron] 3 Louis XVI’, with ornamentation by Paul Baudry (d. 1886) (Archives Pleyel - Musée de la musique, E.2009.5.10). It was made from 5 March to circa May 1868, and sold on 23 July the same year to ‘Dusautoy, Paris’. 'Dusautoy' cannot be identified with certainty but could either be Auguste François Dusautoy (d. 1873), celebrated couturier to the Emperor in the second half of the 19th century, or Jacques-Léon Dusautoy, designer and illustrator at the Opéra Garnier, Paris. Interestingly, Paul Baudry who is credited with the decoration of this piano, also completed the decoration of the Grand Foyer at the Opéra Garnier. The piano was later sold from ‘L’Hôtel de feu Mme Dusautoy. Et provenant de sa propriété de Saint-Germain’, Hotel Drouot, 9-14 December 1889, lot 382, when it was in the 'Grand Salon':
‘Magnifique piano à queue, de Pleyel, en bois finement sculpté, partie décorée de médallions à sujets allégoriques à la danse, à la musique et au chant, encadré de guirlandes de fleurs se détachant sur un fond d’or relevé d’arabesques et d’élégants rinceaux. Avec bordures fondvert d’eau et moulures, lyres, guirlandes de fleurs et cygnes rehaussés d’or de couleur. Travail remarquable de style Louis XVI, pour les peintures attribuées à Baudry’.
