1902 Beautiful Kimball ARTS& Crafts/ Mission Piano In Quarter Sawn Oak Cabinet
This lovely piano was built by the famous W. Kimball Piano Company of Chicago in 1902. Note the beautifully carved leaves and acorns that adorn the front panel; quarter sawn oak Victorian pianos are less common than mahogany or rosewood because the darker finishes were more popular at the time. Since oak was a common domestic wood, it was not considered to be exotic and was rarely used for piano cabinets, making it rare and desirable today.
