1901 Steinway & Sons Model B Art-Case Grand Piano

Full Inlay • Hand‑Carved Cabinet • Museum‑Quality Restoration

This extraordinary 1901 Steinway Model B is a rare, fully inlaid art‑case masterpiece—an instrument created at the height of Steinway’s Golden Age and restored today to a standard worthy of the world’s finest collections. Measuring 6'11½", this piano unites the legendary musical power of the Model B with one of the most elaborate decorative cabinets Steinway ever produced.

The case is crafted in book‑matched walnut and adorned with sweeping floral marquetry panels, parquetry motifs, and hand‑carved cabriole legs with acanthus and shell detailing. Every inch of the cabinet has been meticulously revived, with missing inlay and carving recreated by master artisans to match the original 1901 workmanship. The satin walnut finish is glass‑smooth, warm, and elegant—an unmistakable presence in any room.

Inside, the instrument has been completely rebuilt with new hammers, shanks, whippens, keys, strings, tuning pins, dampers, and bushings, along with a restored and preserved original soundboard. The cast‑iron plate has been re‑gilded, and the action is voiced and regulated for the rich, singing tone that has made the Model B Steinway’s most celebrated scale design. The result is a piano that plays with the authority of a concert instrument while presenting the visual splendor of a one‑of‑a‑kind art case.

This is a singular opportunity to acquire a fully restored, turn-of-the-century Steinway B that stands at the intersection of fine art, historic craftsmanship, and world‑class musical performance. Whether for a collector, a luxury residence, or a performance space seeking a statement piece, this piano offers unmatched beauty, provenance, and presence.
