A Steinway Model B grand piano with with an ebonised case. Case features three tiered mouldings at base. Music desk has a geometric filigree design. Piano has three barrel legs each carved with figures playing musical instruments and floral relief detail. The Steinway piano was commissioned by Leo Lewin circa 1910 for his villa in Breslau, Germany.
Leo Lewin came from a family of textile producers. The family became wealthy during the first world war selling large orders of military clothing. Lewin was a prolific art collector and in 1917 purchased a spacious villa in order to create an exhibition space for his collection of paintings. Initially a collector of German art works by artists such as Liebermann, Slevogt and Menzel what made his collection truly famous was his acquisition of canvasses from leading European painters such as Manet, Monet and Picasso. The collection was known as the Silesian art collection.
Leo Lewin commissioned Oskar Kaufmann to design the interior of his villa including the design of all the furniture. A mix of artists collaborated to make all the furnishings and objects including Cesar Klein, Ernst Stern, Jackel, Kainer, Scheurich, Meid, Unger and others. The piano was one of the pieces specifically designed for the Lewin villa and was situated in the music room.
Oskar Kaufmann was an Hungarian-Jewish architect born in 1873. He is noted for his design of the Krolloper, the Hebbel Theater and the Renaissance Theater, all located in Berlin, the Neue Stadttheater in Vienna, and the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv. Kaufmann gained a strong reputation as a theater architect however, the first world war had a large impact on his business. It was around this time Kaufmann began taking on private commissions for private villas. Many of these villas still stand today. Leo Lewin’s villa in Brelau is one of these.

Schiedmayer Grand Piano with an Art-Deco case Inlaid with Mother of Pearl, Lapis Lazuli and Malachite in Geometric Designs. Designed by Peter Behrens.
A 1901 Schiedmayer grand piano with an Art-Deco case inlaid with mother of pearl, lapislazuli and malachite in geometric designs. The lid design resembles an angels wing. Music desk made from brass with a sunburst design. Legs feature geometric square pillar design this is also echoed in the piano lyre. The brass inlay of the company name Schiedmayer is made in Peter Behrens own typography. This Schiedmayer piano was designed by Peter Behrens.
In 1899 Peter Behrens was invited to build his first house on land bought from Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse and the Rhine. The Grand Duke, a noble friend of the arts, sold land to seven artists, Peter Behrens, Joseph Maria Olbrich, Patriz Huber, Rudolf Bosselt, Hans Christiansen, Paul Bürck and Ludwig Habich. The Artist Colony of Darmstadt was born. Peter Behrens’ house was the most expensive villa built there. Peter Behrens, a self-educated person, only chose the most luxurious companies to bring his design dreams to life. He designed two wonderful wall mosaics for the music room, which where produced by the famous company Villeroy & Boch. Peter Behrens decided to give his grand piano design to the Schiedmayer Pianofortefabrik in the town of Stuttgart because he was impressed by other Schiedmayer art case pianos he had seen. The piano with the serial number 32345 was made in the period from 1900 -1901.
Peter Behrens at The Artist Colony of Darmstadt
In 1899 Behrens left the artistic circles of Munich and moved away from the Jugendstil towards a sober and austere style of design. In 1902 Peter Behrens decided to sell his House and he went to Düsseldorf to be the Direktor of the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts. In that period together with 10 Artists, he was founder of the German Werkbund. In 1907, the company AEG retained Behrens as artistic consultant. He designed the entire corporate identity the logotype, product design, publicity, etc. and for that he is considered the first industrial designer in history. Peter Behrens was never an employee for AEG, but worked in the capacity of artistic consultant. In 1910, Behrens designed the AEG Turbine Factory. From 1907 he did not work alone in his office in Berlin, and among them were Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Adolf Meyer, Jean Kramer and Walter Gropius.
