The Wagner upright piano, featuring the Wagner name in ornate gold script on dark veneer, exemplifies the craftsmanship of the late 19th to early 20th century. The serial number 45334 suggests it was made between 1905 and 1915. Its maker, William Wagner (est. 1859, Germany), was known for producing fine acoustic pianos and reed organs during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with exports reaching many Commonwealth countries.
