Barling Garnet Grain 6175 Smooth Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

Barling and Sons was originally founded in 1812 by Benjamin Barling and began as a family business making silver-adorned meerschaum pipes. In the early 20th century, however, the Barling family began to produce what the brand is today most famous for – expertly made briar pipes.

True to the name, Barling’s Garnet Grain finish was a deep, ruby-like stain, paired with jet-black vulcanite stems. As can be seen on this one, the finish worked wonders with the briar’s underlying briar patterns.

The condition is fair. There’s some rim charring and a few scratches on the bowl, but nothing to stop the pipe being a great smoker.
