Welcome to the Chickering Collection

From 1823 to 1998, Chickering & Sons, one of America’s finest piano manufacturers, produced over a quarter million pianos.  These instruments were considered top-of-the-line pianos on par with Steinway and Mason & Hamlin.  Many famous composers and musicians owned Chickering pianos and requested they be onstage for their performances.

This website provides a detailed history of Chickering.  You will find essential information including detailed instructions on how to identify a Chickering piano’s age, model number, plate design and size. These invaluable resources provide exquisite guidelines for both the restoration and appraisal of Chickering pianos.

For the very first time, a private investor has agreed to loan, sell or donate his prized collection. This extraordinary collection contains all nine of the original Chickering Golden Age grand pianos, which are fully restored to their original beauty. This collection can be viewed here.
