This very rare Steinway Imperial Square Grand Piano was custom built on November 20, 1866 for Edward Dous, a wealthy merchant living in Hamburg in what was then the North German Confederation (1866-1871).

The piano has a Rosewood finish, semi-gloss black case, ornate hand carved legs and measures 1 square x 68 inches. It has 85 keys which were last tuned in January 2008. Included is a built in humidifier to maintain the internal temperature of the piano dry and cool. The soundboard and bridges are in excellent condition. This design, with a full iron frame, is probably the most powerful type of square piano ever built. When the lid is raised, the sound is reflected directly at the player, further enhancing the power of the instrument.

This piano was appraised by the nationally syndicated antique columnist, Anne Gilbert, at $7,000.00. The last appraisal was in September 2011 valued at $5,000.00. All documentation included.

This Imperial Square Grand piano is an extremely rare collector’s item, excellent for anyone who wishes to create a mid to late 19th century feel for their home or place of business.
