Tom,
It appears that your client has a square piano with an English Double action 
from circa 1810 - 1820.

Take a look at:

List,
 A long time client of mine has recently acquired this instrument at 
auction.
I won't be able to take a look for a few weeks.
Any insight on what it is, vintage ,type of action ,age ,etc from these 
images appreciated,
Thanks,
Tom Driscoll RPT
