Upright Piano 1832

This upright piano, crafted in 1832 by Friedrich Bernhard Voigt, is a fine example of early 19th-century piano making. The instrument's elegant design features a mahogany case adorned with gilded accents, complemented by green felt panels that showcase a radiating sunburst pattern. The piano's ornate decoration, featuring classical motifs, reflects the popularity of Neoclassical design during this period. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represents a significant example of German craftsmanship and the evolving artistry of piano making.
