This pipe dates from the period 1880 to 1910 (late Belle Époque / Historicism). It is therefore approximately 115 to 145 years old.
Several important indicators help to narrow down the age of such carvings more precisely:
• The motif: Depictions of horses, hunting scenes or forestry reliefs experienced their absolute heyday in the late 19th century in the major carving centers such as Vienna, Ruhla and Nuremberg.
• The coloring (patina): The deep, honey- to amber-colored tint in the lower part of the meerschaum head shows that the pipe was regularly smoked for many years. The nicotine and oils contained in the tobacco penetrate the porous material and color it permanently. This even coloration often takes decades.
• The joint connection: The dark shank (the transition to the mouthpiece) indicates a classic plug-in or screw connection, as was standard around the turn of the century.

Length 9 cm
Height 3.5 cm
Width 2.0 cm
