I can find no listing of a maker for this name. It is about the size of a small studio upright, 85 keys, overdampers, tape-check action. Serial number given as 2332. On general appearences I would guess 1950's.

Serial numbers are not going to help, it's not going to be a maker's name, more likely it is intended to suggest that the piano is designed in the style of Chippendale. Overdampers and 85 notes in the fifties would suggest a London maker. Being a tuner, I imagine you have checked under the bottom keys for a label? _________________ I do not buy, sell or value pianos, but I sometimes rescue pre-1890 pianos in the UK.

As far as style goes, it's a plain black box. Obviously a "stencil", I was hoping the name might be recognized. I'm working from photos, so further inspection isn't possible.
