The artwork of the floral swashes and whatnot on the instrument itself are marvelous. What a beautiful machine!

Fun fact: they are water applique - if you ever try to clean one of these with any kind of liquid, they will wash off almost instantly.

When people restore them, they either apply new applique or I've seen some folks laser etch the designs on. Very cool.
