Stanwell Deluxe 83 Sandblasted Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Danish Estates

Description

Stanwell is one of Denmark’s most celebrated and enduring pipe companies, having been founded by Poul Nielsen shortly after the second world war. Over the last six decades, Stanwell has established itself as both a leader in innovative Danish design and for producing well-priced pipes with precision construction and engineering. Many of its designs were created for the company by iconic pipe-makers in the Scandinavian scene, such as Sixten Ivarsson, Anne Julie, Jess Chonowitsch, and Tom Eltang.

Despite its historic renown for distinctly Danish designs, Stanwell’s shape “83” medium bent billiard is one of the company’s oldest shapes, having been in production since at least the early 1950s. Then again, Stanwell was originally founded to compete with distinctly English pipes, with the “Stanwell” name intended to evoke distinctly English connotations. That the 83 has survived for so long where hundreds of other Stanwell shapes have not just goes to show that they’re called the “classics” for good reason.

The condition is fair. Rim darkening and some charring, and some finish fading.
