Dodds & Claus

Dodds & Claus were a partnership of American cabinetmakers known for building pianos and other fine furniture. They were particularly adept at crafting square pianos, also known as "pianofortes," such as the one pictured here. The craftsmanship on display is evident in the intricate details of the instrument, including the elegant legs and the beautifully finished wood. The instrument's graceful lines and refined design capture the aesthetic ideals of their time.
