Steinway & Sons “B” Tiffany Commemorative Art Case Grand

Steinway has a long history of collaborating with both designers and artists to create some of the most exquisite and provocative Art Case pianos in the world. Sometimes it’s a limited edition run of a certain model, each numbered and signed for authenticity.  Sometimes it’s a bespoke piano commissioned by a private collector.  And sometimes it’s a one-of-a-kind piece marking an important milestone or celebrating the vision of an inspired, talented artist or designer.

To celebrate the 200^th birthday of Steinway’s founder, Henry E. Steinway (b. Heinrich Englhard Steinweg, in Germany, Feb. 1797), the company resurrected a beautiful design from 1902 by J.B. Tiffany (cousin of Louis Comfort Tiffany), then head of the art case department at Steinway.

A limited commemorative collector’s edition, there were only 200 pianos built in total, shared between the L and B models.  Some were made with African Pommele, some with East Indian Rosewood.

We are offering a model B, in the pommele finish, plaque #44 of 200.  Tiffany’s design was understated yet luxurious, with a hand-carved tulip pattern on the edges of the lid and an “egg and dart” molding encircling the piano’s body and legs.  The entire design exudes a warm, stately presence.

We can’t forget that this beautiful Tiffany Art Case surrounds a 6’ 11” model B piano – arguably the most desired instrument Steinway builds to this day.

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a rare, gorgeous, and important Steinway Art Case housing a true performance-level artist grand.
