Rare Belle Epoque Pleyel Upright Piano
About the Item
History:Ignace Pleyel a fine pianist and student of Haydn was born
1757 in Austria.As a musician in his early years he actively worked
with Haydn on operas and string quartets.
The piano firm Pleyel et Cie was founded by Ignace Pleyel and
continued by Pleyel's son Camille (1788–1855), a piano virtuoso who
became his father's business partner as of 1815. The firm provided
pianos used by Frédéric Chopin, and also ran a concert hall, the Salle
Pleyel, in which Chopin performed his first—and also his last—Paris
concert.
Pleyel pianos are known for their exquisite "velvety tone" that is
considered the most beautiful interpreter of Chopins poetic
compositions.In the second half of the 19th century Pleyel produced
superb pianos with many art-cases.
These muses were proud centerpieces of the French ,English and Italian
music salons.

Pleyel Grand Piano, Paris 1870
By Pleyel
Located in Littleton, CO
This Pleyel concert grand piano crafted in Paris in 1870 is a timeless masterpiece that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of 19th-century French piano manufacturing. Pleyel instruments are renowned for their exceptional quality and rich musicality, representing the pinnacle of piano design in the Romantic era, and this piano – an early example of the technological innovation of cross-stringing that was burgeoning during the period – is one in a series of only six ever produced.
This piano is in extraordinarily immaculate condition with nearly every original part, including the soundboard, pristine ivory keys, and the brass inlay in its beautifully figured walnut cabinet. Candle stands slide forward on either side of the collapsable music desk.
This piano was first purchased by the French Count Charles Étienne Gustave Le Clerc, count of Juigné (1825-1900), one of the wealthiest landowners in Brittany and a member of the French National Assembly, later a member of the House of Representatives, and in late life, the Senate.
The piano was restored in 1997 at Maison Erard by master restorationist Frits Janmaat in Amsterdam, and later conditioned by Edwin Beunk.
In recent years, some of Europe's finest historically-informed musical artists played this Pleyel in PBS concert performances in collaboration with the late Sergiu Luca.
Standing on substantial carved legs and brass wheels, the piano exudes a majestic presence through the graceful lines of its Second Empire style cabinet that embodies the period's aesthetics.
The keyboard, meticulously crafted from ivory and ebony, is a testament to the attention to detail in every aspect. Its 85 keys...
