Ibach grand pianos from before 1885 are extremely rare. Ibach art-case grands are rarer still. This grand piano combines both. It was completed on September 1, 1884 at the factory in Barmen and then delivered to the Ibach showroom in Cologne, where it received its art-case work. Shortly afterwards it was sold to a wealthy family in Cologne. We acquired the grand piano secondhand – in fact, however, it has spent its entire life in the same house in the same room, since it was sold together with the house. The grand piano is preserved in exceptionally magnificent original condition. A jewel.
