About the Item

A 1950s style, Zimmermann baby grand piano with a contrasting black and yellow formica case. Piano features an asymmetrical music desk with geometric cut-outs. Angular styling is seen throughout the cabinet design. The tapered geometric legs are black with formica accents. The obtusely angled piano cheeks have black contrasting stripe down the cabinet. The minimal tubular steel piano lyre is reminiscent of a sputnik satellite. 1950s Style The post-war boom brought massive changes in the home; it was out with the old and in with the new. The American diner look with bubblegum or primary colours, neon and kitsch became a design classic. New materials were introduced including PVC, Formica, fibreglass, rubber, melamine, aluminium, vinyl, plastics. Abstract and geometric patterns were popular. Scientific research and the space race also informed design.

Pleyel Grand Piano, Paris 1870
By Pleyel
Located in Littleton, CO
This Pleyel concert grand piano crafted in Paris in 1870 is a timeless masterpiece that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of 19th-century French piano manufacturing. Pleyel instruments are renowned for their exceptional quality and rich musicality, representing the pinnacle of piano design in the Romantic era, and this piano – an early example of the technological innovation of cross-stringing that was burgeoning during the period – is one in a series of only six ever produced. This piano is in extraordinarily immaculate condition with nearly every original part, including the soundboard, pristine ivory keys, and the brass inlay in its beautifully figured walnut cabinet. Candle stands slide forward on either side of the collapsable music desk. This piano was first purchased by the French Count Charles Étienne Gustave Le Clerc, count of Juigné (1825-1900), one of the wealthiest landowners in Brittany and a member of the French National Assembly, later a member of the House of Representatives, and in late life, the Senate. The piano was restored in 1997 at Maison Erard by master restorationist Frits Janmaat in Amsterdam, and later conditioned by Edwin Beunk. In recent years, some of Europe's finest historically-informed musical artists played this Pleyel in PBS concert performances in collaboration with the late Sergiu Luca. Standing on substantial carved legs and brass wheels, the piano exudes a majestic presence through the graceful lines of its Second Empire style cabinet that embodies the period's aesthetics. The keyboard, meticulously crafted from ivory and ebony, is a testament to the attention to detail in every aspect. Its 85 keys...
