356 Steinway & Sons Concert Grand Piano
1894 Steinway & Sons concert grand piano with ornate custom inlay and painted classical decoration by Cottier & Co. Serial #: 76000. Style “D” Grand. Cherry wood case with rosewood, walnut, and other inalid woods, with mother of pearl inlay on the music stand. Dimensions: 103 in. long; 60 in. wide; 40 in. tall.
The piano was manufactured 1894, shipped November 13, 1894 and retailed by N. Stetson Co., Philadelphia. A matching bench made from one piece of wood accompanies the piano.

Mother of Pearl inlay adorns the music rest, and the hinged top is decorated on both the exterior and interior.
The piano has a hinged lid and fold-over front, and shaped sides. The keyboard cover enclosing the original ivory keys is marked “Steinway and Sons, New York and Cottier and Co.” The case is supported by round column-form legs with giltwood carved swags. The movement is marked with serial number 76000, along with various Steinway & Sons patent stamps and marks. In 1989 the piano was outfitted with two humidifiers.
Since its delivery to the original owners, this one-of-a-kind piece has always resided in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
