1988 Schimmel Empire SP182 Piano

The Empire style (1804-1830), originating in Paris, took the world of the grand salons by storm – and was closely linked to the personality cult surrounding Napoleon Bonaparte. Representation and decoration were the objectives of the style which was characterized by straight lines, austerity and solemnity, for example in furniture, applied art and fashion. We have recreated this style in our Empire grand pianos, but not in its most opulent form.
