Glory Days Auction
Description & Details
This auction presents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a full collection of over 50 different hand-carved Turkish meerschaum tobacco pipes, each one crafted by a top master carver family in Turkey whose artistry is respected worldwide. These pipes are not factory reproductions but authentic, hand-finished works of art that carry on generations of tradition in the meerschaum craft. Each pipe in this collection is individually carved, ensuring no two are alike. From bold figurals to classic shapes, the variety showcases the remarkable creativity and skill of the artisans who carved them. Every pipe comes with a Certificate of Authenticity verifying its origin and craftsmanship, making this offering not only an attractive acquisition for collectors but also a secure investment in quality. Meerschaum, known as ?white gold,? is prized for its unique smoking qualities?lightweight, porous, and able to provide a cool, dry smoke unmatched by other materials. Beyond function, the mineral is the perfect canvas for intricate carving, and these master artisans bring the stone to life with striking detail, expression, and depth. Over time, each pipe develops a golden patina, adding even more character and collectibility. This is not a single pipe but an expansive group of more than 50 highly sought-after examples. The scale of the collection makes it an ideal choice for serious collectors, specialty retailers, or investors looking to secure rare, artisan-made pieces in volume. Opportunities to acquire such a large, curated set directly from one of the most respected master carving families in Turkey are virtually unheard of. Whether displayed in a private collection, offered for resale, or cherished as heirloom-quality artworks, these meerschaum pipes embody the highest standard of Turkish carving tradition. Do not miss this chance to own a complete and diverse group of collectible pipes that are functional, historical, and destined to appreciate in both beauty & value
