Exceptionally Rare Mission/Arts & Crafts Style Autopiano Player Piano
Out of stock
This is an exceedingly rare model of an Arts & Crafts/Mission style Autopiano player piano. Luckily, we have had two of these pianos over the years the one featured here is sold, and one we still have available is listed on our website. This piano spent years in a drafty storage barn, where it became rodent infested and very deteriorated. These photos show the amazing transformation from its rough, deplorable original condition to its splendid like-new condition after total restoration. These Arts & Crafts/Mission style instruments were made in very limited numbers, and are nearly impossible to find today.
Note the original Advertisement for this piano (see photos) describing it as the "Style S Mission Oak" model.
Note: As founder of The Antique Piano Shop, I have personally collected Mission / Arts & Crafts style pianos for over 25 years. I have a great passion for anything Mission / Arts & Crafts, including Craftsman homes, furniture, and accessories. If you are a true Arts & Crafts enthusiast, you will appreciate how impossible it is to find true Arts & Crafts / Mission style pianos in today’s market. Nearly three decades of collecting and preserving these “impossible to find” instruments has allowed me the opportunity to present the largest collection of true Mission / Arts & Crafts style instruments anywhere in the world.
We are proud to offer the serious enthusiast the option of adding an authentic period instrument for their Craftsman home.
