Antique Hand-Carved Bavarian Pipe (Late 1800s) - Black Forest, Made in Switzerland
A unique piece of artisanal history. We present this stunning collector's pipe, a true gem of Black Forest folk art from Switzerland, dating back to the late 19th century. With its distinctive design and meticulous details, this pipe is the perfect addition to any antique collection.
The 15 cm bowl is hand-carved with a deep, rustic texture, giving it an authentic and tactile character. What truly makes this pipe stand out are the hand-engraved silver details: an elegant floral design and a beautifully rendered cow, reflecting the culture and landscape of the Alpine regions.
At the top, a finely engraved metal cap, held by a chain, not only adds elegance but also serves to protect the tobacco.
The pipe stem is a work of art in itself, with sections of dark-toned turned wood and a central detail of light-colored horn or bone that highlights the craftsmanship. The mouthpiece, made of a similar material, has a classic and functional design.
Despite its age, this pipe is preserved in exceptional condition, suggesting it was never used. Weighing only 60 grams, it is light and easy to handle.
