English Estates: Sasieni 4 Dot Ruff Root Light Bent Billiard (10) London Briar For Sale

Theodore Justin Gage, the former publisher of the much missed “The Compleat Smoker”, called Sasieni pipes a “fascinating collectible, …representing all that is good about classic English pipe making.” And for good reason: the pipes made by the Sasieni company between the years 1919 and 1979 rank among the very best the London pipe industry had to offer. They featured superb wood, flawless bowls, outstanding smoking qualities, and a styling that was uniquely theirs.
Though not one of these hallowed Sasieni briars so sought after by seasoned collectors, there's still plenty to enjoy with thisPost-Transition bent Billiard. First, it's a handsome interpretation of the old English shape, gently bent along the base, and presenting a lovely, somewhat gestural silhouette. A rich, natural sandblast also serves to bring out the best of the briar's swirling cross-grain, with blasted ring grain and birdseye at each flankand the iconic four, blue dots on its stem. The absolutely breathtaking grain pattern around the bowl has earned this piece a grade 10.Best of all, having been only lightly smoked, the pipe is in excellent overall condition.The pipe has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, and it's ready to be enjoyed with your favorite tobacco.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to add this stunning piece to your rotation or collection.
