Le Petit Trianon
This white and gold grand piano in lacquer and gilded bronze embodies the spirit of Le Petit Trianon. While being a “smaller” and more intimate palace than the Grand Palais, it remains an integral part of the elegance of Versailles. The laconic timelessness of the traditional piano form lies at the heart of this remarkable instrument.
The 24K gilded appliqué plays off the classic proportional beauty of the rim’s curve and the balanced symmetry of the piano’s front. On each side, an elaborate garland of gleaming gold descends and merges with the gold adornments of the squared leg pillars. This thoughtful design elongates the appearance of the legs, allowing the garland to rise visually like a crown.
The side crests feature an iconic Rococo shell rosette encircled by similar garlands. The fallboard and keyboard sides are accented by classical leaf patterns rendered in luminous 24K gold. The laurel wreath outlining the pedal lyre offers an elegant allusion to the Apollonian nature of music. The gentle poetry of this sophisticated Rococo grand piano will illuminate your home with a touch of divine grace.
