- First Art Case Steinway Grand Piano (#1225)
By Jeff Nelson
Model B Grand Piano
6' 10 1/2"
This beautiful Steinway Crown Jewel Mahogany art case piano reflects a ?dancing? leaves marquetry motif around its perimeter. Playful butterflies and dragonflies made of mother-ofpearl, abalone and malachite inlays float along the pianos surface. The ?leaf? marquetry extends to the front of the case cornice and both sides of the fallboard, the legs, and the bench. The music desk centerpiece displays a field of highly figured quilted maple with leaf and butterfly around its perimeter. The overall effect is a sensibility of nature depicted with masterful elegance.
Jeffrey Alan Nelson
Jeff has been creating marquetry artworks and furnishings for over 25 years. His visual references are in nature and have been developed from a background discipline in painting and sculpture. He has worked with a variety of themes such as Native American, floral, autumn leaves and wildlife. His years of practicing the technique of marquetry in illustration are beautifully reflected in the design and inlaid patterns of the SatinRose Art Case Piano.
