## Description

Elegant vintage pipe **Charatan’s Make Belvedere**, made in briar with a refined glossy red mahogany finish, characterized by charming natural grain and dark shades that give depth and personality to the wood.

The classic English shape features a tall rounded bowl, joined to a harmonious and slightly curved stem. The black mouthpiece with a saddle profile is adorned with the iconic CP logo, with the letter C interwoven with the P, a distinctive detail of the Charatan’s brand.

On the shank there are engravings **CHARATAN’S MAKE – LONDON ENGLAND – BELVEDERE**, together with the shape number **281 DC**.

**History and dating**

Charatan’s is one of the historic names in English pipe production. The brand is particularly appreciated by collectors for its connection to London briar-working tradition.

The piece presents characteristics compatible with vintage production. Attribution to the Lane period is a hypothesis, not a definite dating: in the absence of further identifying elements, it is not possible to determine the year of manufacture precisely.

**Conditions**

Used pipe, with superficial marks consistent with age and use. The finish retains a beautiful gloss and highlights the reddish-brown tones of the briar. The photographs show the bowl and the mouthpiece in detail; please study them carefully to assess the aesthetic condition.

A piece with a British character

A Charatan’s Belvedere with a classic taste, interesting for enthusiasts of vintage English pipes and for collectors of the London brand.

**Price requested:** €120.
