Description from the seller
Antique carved briar pipe (bearded man's head)
Antique figurative briar pipe – Saint-Claude (France)
Antique carved briar pipe, made in Saint-Claude (France), the historical capital of briar pipe making. The bowl represents the head of a bearded man, carved directly from a block of beautifully grained briar, in the style characteristic of artisanal productions from the first half/middle of the 20th century.
The marking “BRUYERE ST. CLAUDE” is clearly legible on the side of the stove, attesting to a traditional local manufacture.
The dark ebonite pipe has a patina consistent with its age.

State

Homogeneous and natural patina on the heather.
Minor wear and tear and small marks related to time.
