Description from the seller
Museum piece - Collectors' pipe "Luminor" - Brussels World's Fair 1935
Exceptional and exceedingly rare collection item dating precisely from 1935. This is a tobacco pipe from the prestigious French brand "Luminor", presented in its original transport case made of silk and velvet. The interior of the case is beautifully stamped in its original gold lettering: "EXPOSITION DE BRUXELLES 1935". A true time capsule for discerning collectors.
Features and details:
- Historical origin: Presented at the Brussels World's Fair in 1935 (as evidenced by the case).
- Original-era brand: Luminor (clearly stamped on the briar wood bowl).
- Exceptional pipe: Carved from a gorgeous natural honey-colored amber, transparent, revealing superb interior flow lines and authentic volutes under light.
- Condition: Superb original patina. Note, an old crack (an age-related break) is present on the amber stem. It is perfectly stabilized by time and bears witness to its 90 years of history (see detailed photos).
A unique work of art and history, worthy of a grand collector’s display.
