Exceptional Ornate Case – Ideal for Display, Décor, or Restoration

This is a rare and striking late-19th-century Ivers & Pond grand piano, manufactured in Boston, Massachusetts, approximately 1890–1895. It features an exceptionally well-preserved exterior with ornate custom woodworking on the case panels, music desk, and legs. The visual presence of this piano is outstanding, making it especially desirable as an antique statement piece or decorative centerpiece.

The case is in very good to excellent condition, presenting beautifully in its current as-is state. This piano would be an excellent choice for a home, hotel, restaurant, church, event venue, studio, or theater — or as a historically authentic photo/film prop.

Condition & Musical Notes
- Keyboard and hammers appear to be in good condition and were likely replaced at some point in the past
- Strings show surface rust consistent with age
- A piano technician has indicated that restringing would be part of a full musical restoration, depending on the buyer’s goals
- No restoration is required for decorative, display, or prop use

As with most antique pianos of this age, buyers interested in regular performance or concert-level sound should anticipate restoration work. Buyers seeking a visually stunning antique will find this piano ready to enjoy as it is.
