2007 Nording Hunting Pipe, Bent Brandy Elk Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked [SOLD OUT]

Description

Nørding was founded by Erik Nørding in the 1960s, and is one of the oldest remaining companies to come out of the Scandinavian pipe-making renaissance that began in the mid-20th century. Now in his 80s, Erik Nørding is one of the most experienced and skilled pipe-makers in the world, and over the decades he has also been a teacher of other Danish masters, such as Poul Ilsted, Svend Axel Celius, Jens Tao Nielsen, Peder Jeppesen, and Søren Erik Andersen.

Since 1995, Erik Nørding has created a limited edition pipe to celebrate his love of wildlife and the great outdoors. These are Nørding’s famed ‘Hunting’ series, with each drawing inspiration for its design for a particular animal. This Nørding, from 2007, was inspired by the Elk; a sturdy, bent brandy with a ring of genuine antler. It’s a lovely piece, testifying to the fact that pipes are as much a work of art as they are a practical tool.

This 2007 Hunter pipe is completely unsmoked, which adds another dimension to its rarity as part of a limited edition release. It also comes with its original packaging, including concept art for its design.
