Piano 28 was captured in the church of St. Michael the Archangel in Lyme Regis.
It seems that Elysian is a name used by Morley's of reference 2 and was a name used by Chappell. Although whoever it was who sold this piano did not used an antiquified transfer in the way of the people at reference 4, with the lettering here being quite modern.
The website of the first company suggests that they can do you an Elysian grand for between £7,000 and £10,000, so presumably a respectable brand. While the second company, in Bond Street for many years, seem to have moved to Wardour Street at some point, where, in due course, they became Yamaha Music. I don't suppose they have made pianos for a while. My money is on Morley.
Must remember to check next time I am in Lyme Regis.
