An extraordinary 19th century German briar pipe of striking proportions, measuring just over 26 inches (67 cm) in length. Crafted with a richly patinated hardwood bowl—likely briar—and a carved multi-section stem, this imposing piece was designed to impress. The stem features turned elements and is finished with delicate brass fittings and a drawstring-tied cap.
This type of pipe was often ceremonial or decorative as much as functional, and it makes a dramatic sculptural statement in any interior—ideal for a rustic cabin, tobacconist display, or maximalist study.
The bowl is smooth and richly toned, with minor scuffs and characterful wear in line with its age. Structurally solid and visually arresting, this is a rare and beautifully preserved example of oversized European pipe making.
Dimensions:
Length: 26.5" / 67 cm
Condition:
General age wear with light marks and signs of handling. The stem segments are firmly fitted and intact. Please see photos for details.
