The Arts & Crafts Movement in America was most popular from about the 1900 - 1915 period, and had all but disappeared by the mid 1920s.  Although the Arts & Crafts Movement was a relatively short-lived design era, hundreds of thousands of homes were built and furnished in the popular Craftsman/Mission style. Today, there is a huge Renaissance in the Arts & Crafts Movement. Original Craftsman style homes are being renovated, new Craftsman style homes are being built, and most major furniture lines are manufacturing and selling furnishings in the Craftsman style to reflect the Mission/Arts & Crafts period.

Because the Arts & Crafts movement was such an extreme change from traditional period styles, piano manufactures were very slow to adapt. Very few manufacturers went to the time and expense of adding Craftsman style pianos to their line. By the time these few makers added Craftsman design pianos to their product line, the Arts & Crafts movement seemed to fade away almost as quickly as it came. As a result, Craftsman style pianos are exceedingly rare today.

This piano is one of the most authentic Craftsman style pianos ever built.  Inspired by the designs of Gustav Stickley, this piano gives a sense of overall functionality, simplicity, and beauty. The instrument is made of beautiful French Walnut wood and features unusual full-length frontal posts and original antique copper w/ amber glass electric lamps. These original electric lamps are wired into the frame of the instrument with each lamp having its own pull-chain on/off switch. The warm glow of the beautiful amber glass against the rich French Walnut wood and antique ivory keys is absolutely breathtaking.

This piano is being completely restored, inside and out, with a historical perspective in mind.  This instrument is a full-size upright grand with substantial tone quality.  If desired, this piano can be equipped with the Pianomation player system, and can play by itself by streaming music live from any smart device.  Thousands of song titles are available.

An authentic matching piano bench is included.

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.
