Bechstein and exhibited by Maple & Co. C. Bechstein is inscribed on a square, brass plaque on the piano fall.

Located in Wheat Ridge, CO

A. Neuburger, Wien – Late 19th Century Austrian Grand Piano An exceptional and rare late 19th century Austrian grand piano by A. Nerburger, Wien, bearing the coveted “Gold Medaille” designation, indicative of international exhibition recognition and superior craftsmanship. This elegant instrument embodies the refinement and technical excellence of Viennese piano making during the height of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Crafted in a richly figured walnut veneer with a warm, lustrous patina, that pairs well with the ivory and ebony keys, the case features beautifully rounded, sculptural lines and subtle carved detailing. The serpentine profile, molded edges, and finely turned legs terminating in brass casters reflect the romantic aesthetic of the period. The fallboard reveals the original gilded lettering set against a contrasting black ground, offering a striking visual accent. The interior showcases an ornately carved music desk panel, decorative soundboard elements, and period-correct brass hardware. The hinged lid opens on a traditional prop stick, revealing the instrument’s original harp and string configuration. A three-pedal lyre assembly with a distinctive carved support adds further architectural interest. Viennese pianos of this era are celebrated for their nuanced tonal character—clear, lyrical, and expressive—making them highly desirable among collectors, musicians, and interior designers alike. Beyond its musical merit, this grand piano stands as a sculptural statement piece, equally suited to a refined residential interior, boutique hospitality setting, or curated gallery environment. A rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality example of Austrian piano...
