Philipps Pianella Model 31
(Old Louvre Cafe, San Francisco, California)
Date: 1909

Wurlitzer Style 31 Concert PianOrchestra in the Old Louvre Cafe, San Francisco, California, 1909.

This early Wurlitzer Concert PianOrchestra with all white casework, embellished with polished brass strappings and gilded carvings, is probably a style 31. Note the "Fancy Lamp" encircled by a gilded wreath at the top center of the facade. A marginally visible standing figurine, silhouetted against a spray of exquisitely shaped metal flowers fitted with two electric light bulbs, can be seen in the orchestrion's center niche.
