William Wheelock established the Wheelo Piano Co in New York City in 1880. Because Wheelock ws established just about the time that square grand pianos were going out of style, very few square grand pianos were actually built under the Wheelock name. Wheelock square grand pianos were very late, well made and highly evolved pianos. They incorporated all of the dwign advances that the previous decade had perfected and nearly all of them had full 88 note keyboards, like this one. This piano is made of rosewood highly carved in the Rococo Victorian style. Rosewood is an endangered hardwood prized for its use in traditional Chinese furniture. A beautiful mother of pearl inlay adorns the top of the keyboard. This piano was fully restored by the Antique Piano Shop in 2016. A QRS pianomation system has been installed, so it can operate as a player piano controlled by your smart phone.
