This 19th-century oboe, crafted by German maker Franz Lauter between 1845 and 1870, exemplifies the artistry of woodwind instrument construction. Made of ebony and ivory, the oboe features intricate silver keys and a bell made of a single piece of wood. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this instrument showcases the craftsmanship and design innovations of the period.
