AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Grand monumental handcrafted sculpture of a marble pipe and a pack of tobacco in polychrome solid marble – Unique piece of tobacconology – 45.5 cm
Exceptionally imposing decorative sculpture entirely made of solid marble, depicting a large curved pipe resting beside a traditional tobacco pack on a rectangular base.
- The pipe: carved from a block of veined red polished marble (imitating briar) for the bowl and stem, and from polished black marble for the curved mouthpiece. Bright finish of excellent quality.
- The tobacco pack: a white-veined marble cube adorned with two red borders engraved with the golden inscription "TABAC" on the front face and a golden eight-pointed star on the side.
- The base: a thick rectangular plaque of speckled black marble, engraved in the center with the intertwined golden initials DG.
This is very likely a unique piece of artisanal craftsmanship made to order in the second half of the 20th century (pipe-smokers competition trophy, prestigious gift or display item for an old tobacconist's shop).
Very good overall condition.
Careful packaging and quick shipping.
