About the Item
Fully Restored 1901 Steinway & Sons Model B Louis XV Baroque Rococo Grand Piano – Serial Number 99151, Full 88 key keyboard.
The most exquisitely detailed example of a turn of the century Model B available today, this 122 year old Steinway grand piano has been completely restored to its original splendor. The Rosewood case is clad in panels of book matched veneer, each containing intricate golden scrolled foliate of inlaid fruitwood, surrounding a diamond shaped parquetry checkerboard pattern. This design is repeated on the fall board, as well as the top and face of the folding section of the lid. The fall board also features fully inlaid banding. The fruitwood foliate motif is echoed in the expertly carved trim and sturdy legs, which also feature deeply carved scallop shell knees and scrolled feet. The music desk features an oxbow shaped back support carved with a lyre trimmed in curtain swags on a backdrop of pierced lattice. It folds down and slides back and forth easily and features two swiveling brass sheet music holders at the front edge. The kick board has a lyre carved form with dentil molding and three brass pedals.
An iconic instrument that will add grandeur and breathtaking sounds to any space. This one of a kind piano is the perfect harmony of the worlds most desirable piano model combined with a spectacular Art Case.
The soundboard was completely rebuilt, with the intention of maintaining the original tone of the instrument. The cast iron plate was re-gilded and the entire action has been replaced with brand new components including new strings, dampers, tuning pins (all tuned to 100-120lbs of torque), hammers shanks, whippens, keys, and bushings. The case and instrument was a multi-year meticulous restoration by the industries finest.
The origin of the Model B dates to 1871 with the development of the Steinway 85-note Style 1 grand piano. Modified and renamed the Model B in 1878, it has enjoyed unrivaled renown as a performance instrument in countless venues from the teaching studio to the recording studio, and the concert hall to the home. Steinway pianos are made with craftsmanship of the highest order. They go through an exhaustive multi-year long process that involves many levels of Steinway factory hand craftsmanship and quality control without equal.

- Rare Monumental 1890 Antique 42 Star United States of America FlagLocated in Dayton, OHMonumental fifteen foot 42 star American flag, circa 1889-1890. The 42-star flag is rare because only a limited number of 42-star flags were produced after Washington became a state on Nov. 11, 1889. But it takes a more intimate knowledge of flag trivia to know just why it happened this way. White stars are added to the blue field of the star-spangled banner on the Fourth of July after a state is admitted to the union. In the fall of 1889, several western territories became states. Dakota was admitted, and then split into North and South Dakota, on Nov. 2, 1889, which made them state and star numbers 39 and 40. Montana was named the 41st state on Nov. 8, followed by Washington, on Nov. 11. Only a few flag manufacturers began producing 42-star flags before the official addition of the 42nd star on July 4, 1890. Those who tried to jump the gun by being the first to produce an up-to-date flag were surprised when Idaho was admitted to the United States on July 3...Category
