England As simple as beautyful! A very unusual and we can say unique pipe made in the middle of the XX century on the John Redman pipe factory. The idea is simple and elegant: the lightweigt square poker pipe! A real eye-catcher!
England, 1940-50s An eye catching decent size classical English poker pipe made at Barling’s family factory between 1941 and 1962, i.e. during the pre-transition period. The arched BARLING’S MAKE logo is already of a full size, larger than before WWII. There’s still no shape number, but the stamping “EXEXEL” was introduced after 1941 when Barling…
Denmark, 1970s We have already represented a few very interesting, extremely elegant and a quite mysterious pipes made by Danish carver Peter Brakner. All of them were of the Antique series, well known and easily identified by inimitable skilfull microrustication.The secret of this technique has been lost unfortunatelly, therefore these pipes made long time ago…
Italy A nonpareil very high grade pipe from the glorious Italian pipe carvers dynasty! Ar-Dor stands for ANgelo Rovera & DORelio Rovera, a son and his father who established the company in 1974. Today the Ardor Pipes is a World famous manufacturer of pieces of art of the highest level quality and design, which are…
England 1950-70s A very well made GBD pipe from the period before 1980 (in other words before the merge with Comoys under the Cadogans roof). Unique shape, great briar with amazing grain, transparent acrylic stem as a tribute to legendary perspex stems produced by GBD after the World War II – fantastic addition to every…
England, 1972-74 In the beginning Dunhill created Bruyere. And several years (1910-1917) it was the single brand made by the company of a firm and dense Calabrian briar. And though pre WWII “bruyeres” were marked just by a letter “A” instead of model, the Bruyere series is the one of the oldest long-livers not only…
England, 1960s A Charatan’s pipe of “the second Lane era” (1965-76), the period of the brightest blossoming of this brand, delightful shapes and grains, which eclipsed all others pipe makers including Dunhill. There’s no shape number on the pipe, thus it was made by one of the leading carvers at this factory regardless any catalogues….
England, 1960s A very pleasant and comfortable Charatan’s Make pipe of their best period (“Lane era”), i.e. late 1960s – early 1970s, when the glory of Charatan’s eclipsed all competitors, including Dunhill. Despite the poker shape is a quite conservative standard, Charatan’s carvers added their own unique Charatan’s vision and style to it. Sincerely recommended!
England, 1960s An exquisite example of the Charatan’s carvers art made in 1960s under the Ben Wade trade mark! Initially Ben Wade was an old good English family manufactory. Soon after the WWII the brand was acquired by Lane Ltd from USA, the producer of fantastic Charatan’s pipes at that time. And we’re pleased to…
England, 1950-70s A “special edition” of one of the most successful GBD Prehistoric series. The designation “Collector” (along with “Conquest” and “Colossus”) served for marking of especially large pipes. At the same time the name Collector is really justified: pipe smokers from many countries (and furthermore refined collectors) appreciate and extol such convincingly large pipes….
