William Southwell (1736/7-1825) was an Anglo-Irish inventor and musical instrument maker whom made in particular very fine pianos for the nobility and the wealthy elite. He is most well known for the production of a demi-lune piano which when closed appeared as a very fashionable Adam style pier table. The above example is a rare upright square pianoforte, the design for this piano was patented in 1798. It is number '22' so this points it to being an early example made between 1798 and 1800. Only a small number of these pianos are known to exist, there is an example in the National Museum, Dublin and Ireland and there was one in the Finchcocks Musical Museum in Kent which closed in December 2015.
