QR Code Link to This Post
A rare and exquisitely crafted upright piano attributed to Hermann Reisner, this late 19th-century instrument embodies the romantic elegance of European salon culture. The case features richly carved woodwork and delicate floral marquetry across the front panel, showcasing the artisan’s mastery in both musical and decorative arts.
The piano’s upright form is balanced by its architectural presence, with fluted columns, carved scrolls, and a warm patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. The keys—original and intact—rest beneath the iconic Steinway & Sons label, suggesting a possible collaborative or restoration history, though the primary maker is Hermann Reisner.
Whether used as a functional instrument or a sculptural centerpiece, this piano offers timeless sophistication and historical intrigue. Ideal for collectors of European musical antiques, interior designers seeking a statement piece, or musicians drawn to the romance of 19th-century craftsmanship.
