F & J Ackermann, Stuttgart

Post by PaulMcc »

I've just bought an upright made by this company, looks to be late 1800's/early 1900's, fairly ornate floral marquetry laid into a rosewood cabinet and complete with original sconses. It's in good shape mechanically.

I would be interested to know more about the maker if anyone has any information on them.
