The focal point of the Saloon is the grand piano, designed by Lutyens and made by John Broadwood and Sons Ltd. Broadwood have held the Royal Warrant longer than any other warrant holder and were first appointed pianoforte manufacturer to George II. The piano was painted by Thomas Matthews Rooke in the style of his master, Edward Burne-Jones. Rooke painted a full-sized piano in this style in 1880; it is likely that Lutyens saw it and requested a miniature.
