The Grand Bohemian piano would look as at home in a mythical forest as an art museum or luxury penthouse. A bronze cast base of sculpted tree branches adorn woodland creatures; a majestic peacock with feathers unfurled makes up the music stand. Subtle lighting within the sounding board area and lighting under the rim give the piano an otherworldly glow. Some areas like the frame are gilded with 23-carat finest gold. The vibrant red of the inside of the piano lid and inner rim make this piano unlike any other in elegance and opulence. The “Grand Bohemian” is limited to nine instruments worldwide, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece will be enjoyed by musicians and art aficionados alike.

Grand Bohemian

 At the end of the 16 century, a new movement in art spreads quickly across Europe and eventually reaches Austria. It is the dawn of the Baroque. In music, the virtuous compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach are about to create controversy: in fine arts spectators are about to gaze in astonishment at sumptuous splendour in visual expressions and architecture. Bright colours fancy playfully carved lines, gilded frames and sculptural figures. Grand and opulent in expression.Manufactured over countless hours by our artisans the Bösendorfer Baroque is one of our most extravagant designs. Sophisticated decorations perfect the Ivory coloured satin silhouette of the piano, the individually carved legs, as well as the lavish use of gold, showing the artisan’s loving eye for detail.
