Bjarne Nielsen Signature Grade, Sandblasted Bent Egg, Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates [SOLD OUT]

Description

Bjarne Nielsen was one of the towering figures of Danish pipe-making until his passing in 2008. As the founder of Bjarne, Nielsen employed talented pipe-makers from Denmark to produce distinctly Danish pipes and sold them to a devoted international audience. Among those in his employ were figures such as Mogens Johansen (also known as Johs), Ph. Vigen, Ole Bandholm and Tonni Nielsen. Though Bjarne pipes are no longer manufactured, they are still in good demand by those who enjoy well-made pipes in the tradition of Danish design.

Bjarne pipes can be divided into two broad categories: Bjarne pipes, and Bjarne Nielsen pipes. The two are often confused, but Bjarne Nielsen, sometimes called ‘signature grade’, pipes were the higher-grade pipes Bjarne offered. These were made only by the workshop’s most skilled carvers and are distinguished by a cursive ‘Bjarne Nielsen’ stamping on the shank, instead of ‘BJARNE.’
