Description
This is a pipe from an estate collection we received, all pipes in this collection were lightly used and clearly cared for; we cleaned up and restored what was needed, and that was minimal due to the excellent care the previous owner took. We just had to do some light reeming, buffing, and polishing.
This is part of the Savinelli “Autograph” line, freehand pipes made 100% by hand. One of the highest grade lines that Savinelli puts out, these pipes are comparable to the finest Italian and Danish Freehand.
This particular Savinelli Autograph is a Danish Freehand style “Dublin” with a plateaued rim, and beautifully excited neo-classical Italian shaping cues that can be seen in the heel, the shank transition, and the elegant taper to the shank. The bowl it quite tall, with thick walls to keep the hands warm, the highest quality Italian briar to give a sweet and cool smoke. The Stem is average sized, but given the large stummel, it has a stout aesthetic, with dynamic visual balance as well as actual balance. So this pipe should balance well for its size, it is clearly expertly crafted.
