Why not come down to the showroom to play or view our current stock of art case, inlaid, carved, decorative and ornate grand pianos. Art cased pianos are pianos with beautifully designed cabinets. Sometimes designed by famous designers or architects. Often these pianos are representative of specific art periods such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, Neoclassical, Empire style, Rococo, Louis XV, Regency style, Sheraton style, Adams style, Queen Anne, Chippendale... These art case pianos often represent the highest craftsmanship, whether it be exquisite, marquetry inlay, ornate, hand carved detail, intricate brass ormolu, or beautiful hand-painted decoration. Some of these art cased pianos are unique, with others only a limited number were made. These pianos were often commissioned by the wealthy to stand as a centrepiece in the room. If you are looking for a particular model of artcase piano, don't hesitate to contact us. We have contacts countrywide and internationally so are sure to be able to help you find the piano of your choice. All pianos on our website are on display in our Leeds showroom, ready to play.
