This classic piano was inspired by the art deco style of mid-20th-century modernism pioneered by Darwin Teague, which permeated furniture, technology, and architecture. It is known for its clean lines. The Empire State Building is a classic example of the art deco style in architecture.

This piano was refinished and restrung about 20 years ago. The action was also rebuilt with Steinway hammers, shanks, and flanges at that time. There isn’t much wear on the instrument since it was kept as a prize furniture piece and played only occasionally.

The piano has a warm, rich sound and a relatively easy action. These instruments are rare. The current Steinway similar to this piano is over $140,000. As rare as these instruments are, they are a great investment opportunity if you appreciate the pleasing symmetry of this period style.
