Well,
Malmsjö was a Swedish piano builder that 1843 founded a piano factory in Göteborg, on the west coast of Sweden. The factory was in business up to a few years ago, and has produced quite a few not so bad grand pianos. Actually Sweden had quite a lot of piano factories once, but now there are none left; the German and Japanese competition was a bit too fierce.
Here are links to a few pictures of nice-looking Malmsjö pianos:

The piano just above was built in 1908 and is right now for sale at Arrenius piano in Stockholm. Anyone interested?
