From the information you have given I believe that apart from the casework restoration, generally the internal mechanics are mostly original. This time line can be extended by regular tuning and maintenance and can also be further considerably extended by a full restoration particularly to the mechanical parts. This is due to the wear and tear on the parts as the instrument is played and the natural deterioration with time of the many mechanical parts. Pianos have a fairly limited life in terms of the musical performance they produce which starts to diminish around the 70 year point. Apart from a few unique instruments, pianos do not become antiques in the furniture sense of the word because they are purchased as a musical instrument to be played therefore one of the overriding factors in a valuation is the age and condition of the internal mechanics. The serial number 14473 dates your piano to a build date of 1900, so it is 115 years old.
