About

An exceptional W.M. Knabe & Co. Gold Medal concert grand piano, dating to the early 20th century and presented in a striking high-gloss black lacquer finish. Measuring nearly nine feet in length, this monumental instrument represents the highest level of American piano craftsmanship—designed for both concert performance and grand interiors. Founded in Baltimore in 1837, Knabe earned international acclaim for its superior tonal quality and was awarded prestigious honors at world expositions, giving rise to its celebrated “Gold Medal” designation. This example, bearing serial number 44273, is a superb representation of that legacy. The piano retains its original cast iron plate, prominently marked “Wm. Knabe & Co., Baltimore,” and has been professionally refinished in a deep, mirror-like black lacquer, enhancing its sculptural presence and architectural elegance. The refined detailing, including the decorative music stand, complements its powerful yet balanced form. Importantly, the instrument is tuned to modern A440 concert pitch, making it fully compatible with contemporary orchestral standards—an essential consideration for both performers and collectors. With its impressive scale, restored presentation, and verified performance capability, this piano functions equally as a concert-level instrument and a statement centerpiece. Ideal for grand residences, performance spaces, or high-end interiors, it offers a rare combination of historical significance, musical integrity, and visual impact.
