Yamaha made its first upright built piano in 1900. Two years later, the company introduced its first grand piano. In 1904, Torakusu Yamaha sent his piano to the St. Louis World’s Fair, where it received an Honorary Grand Prize. Today, Yamaha Corporation is the largest manufacturer of musical instruments in the world. A Yamaha G3 grand piano is among the top lots of the upcoming February auction, presented by Nadeau’s Auction Gallery.
A George II highboy is another key highlight of the sale. Made out of walnut, this 18th-century piece has pine sides and brass handles. Another notable lot is a set of 8 Queen Anne chairs. Queen Anne furniture originated in 1689; however, it did not become popular until 1720. Designed to be light and movable, these pieces were made with minimal ornamentation and embellishment. The auction also offers fine tableware and cutlery, ranging from a Gorham sterling silver cutlery set to Tiffany & Co. plates. The plates have prints, patterns, and designs that feature floral and fruit motifs. To view the complete catalog and register to bid online, visit Bidsquare.
