2007 Nording Hunting Pipe, Bent Brandy Elk Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.
