Moulin Rouge Claw Estate Briar Pipe, French Estates

Out of stock

Description

While figural carvings are typically associated with meerschaum pipes today, it was very common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for briar pipes to be similarly carved, and indeed to be carved in similar themes to their meerschaum counterparts. I’m not entirely sure when this one was made, as I think Lane Ltd had a Moulin Rouge brand back in the day, but it is certainly an interesting piece.

The condition is good. Minor rim darkening.
