A handsome set of four vintage briar tobacco pipes with classic mid-century styling. This group includes a pipe with a K&P sterling silver mount associated with Irish pipe making traditions, plus an English tobacconist stamped example marked Thorburn Clark of Manchester. Each pipe features warm stained briar bowls and long tapered black stems for a clean, traditional profile that looks great displayed in a pipe rack, library décor, or on a desk.
These are ideal for collectors of British and Irish estate pipes, or for anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship and ritual of classic pipe smoking culture from the mid-20th century.
