No reserve price - Pipe - Sea foam

An exceptional antique meerschaum pipe, beautifully shaped as a dragon's claw that seems to encircle the bowl. The detailed carving, with clearly defined scales and powerful claws, makes this a characterful and striking collectible.

The pipe features a warm ivory-colored surface with a nicely weathered patina and is equipped with a long, reddish-brown mouthpiece. The signs of use and age contribute to the authentic appearance and emphasize the piece's historical character.

The pipe is presented on a decorative stand made of natural poplar burl. The irregular forms and fine wood grain of the root burl form a particularly fitting backdrop and make the whole immediately suitable for display.

An atmospheric object for collectors of antique pipes, meerschaum works and curios, but also a unique decoration for a cabinet, library or classical interior. Sale includes the pipe including the depicted stand.
