We are refinishing a 1907 mahogany piano for a client. What was the sheen style back in this time? Satin, glossy? The customer was asking and I wasn't sure what the normal would have beensince most pianos I've seen from that era have poor finishes or have been refinished. 

Thanks!

Most likely varnish (hard) rubbed out with pumice and rottenstone to high sheen.  European pianos of this age would likely have a shellac-based

finish and be french polished to high gloss.
