Presenting an exceptionally rare Steinway & Sons Model grand piano, measuring 5’11”housed in an elegant Chippendale-style mahogany cabinet. This stunning art-case instrument features hand-carved ball-and-claw legs, a beautifully detailed pedal lyre, and a rich, satin‑lustre mahogany finish, offering both visual grandeur and musical excellence
Originally crafted in the early to mid‑20th century (serial #307203), this piano has undergone a comprehensive restoration, fully refreshed to excellent condition. It now reflects the timeless craftsmanship and tonal beauty that define the Steinway legacy. The soundboard is intact and maintained by a standard humidification attachment.
Musically, the Model L is celebrated for its rich, singing treble, resonant midrange, and powerful bass, delivering a tonal palette well beyond its compact size. Its responsive touch and concert-level sound make it ideal for both professional studios and distinguished home settings. Included with the piano: the original matching Chippendale-style bench, crafted to perfectly complement the cabinet’s ornate aesthetic

This Steinway’s Chippendale cabinet places it in a rare and highly sought-after category of Steinway artistry. Unlike standard models, the Chippendale features exquisite hand-carved legs and refined decorative casework that reflect the craftsmanship of Steinway’s golden era. These elegant design elements, combined with the model’s very limited production numbers, give Chippendale grands a strong collector appeal and a premium market position. Their ornate cabinetry is not only expensive to reproduce today but also significantly costlier to refinish, further elevating the exclusivity of surviving originals. For these reasons, Chippendale Steinways consistently command 20–40% higher values than their standard counterparts—making this instrument as much a work of fine furniture and sculpture as it is an exceptional musical instrument.
