About the Item

This exceptional Napoleon III piano, signed Van Overbergh, is a superb example of the elegance and decorative refinement characteristic of French craftsmanship in the second half of the 19th century. The instrument is crafted in ebonized wood, its dark polished surface serving as a striking contrast to the rich decorative elements. The case is adorned with exquisite marquetry inlays, featuring plant motifs delicately worked in tortoiseshell and brass, materials highly prized during the Second Empire period for their opulence and visual depth. Further enhancing its grandeur are finely detailed gilded bronze friezes, which frame the composition with sophistication and luxury. Both a functional musical instrument and a decorative masterpiece, this piano embodies the perfect union of artistry and craftsmanship. Dimensions: 120 x 124 x 60 cm.
