1893 One-of-a-kind Steinway Upright

One-of-a-kind Steinway upright!

This beauty was built in NYC by Steinway in 1893, then shipped to Chicago to a design studio for all of the intricate details. 

The highly-figured rosewood cabinet features exotic wood inlays of florals, trumpets, flutes, lyres and more. Behind the larger inlays is a backdrop of heavily-burled walnut. 

The exquisite ormolu is highly pronounced throughout, featuring cherubs on each end of the instrument, leaves, fruit and a variety of other ornamentation.

The inside of this antique upright piano has been restored with new pins, strings, hammers, and felts. All of the 88 notes are in great playing condition and the piano has a beautiful tone. 

This 1890s piano is a very fine and rare masterpiece. When you stand and gaze at it, you notice one thing after another. It has so much detail and finesse, it is simply hard to describe. Please check out the photos of this rare instrument...."a picture is worth a thousand words."
