Smoking pipe with hinged wind-cap, wood bowl with metal stem and hand-forged decorative elements, circa 1950s-60s.
Measures approx. 6" long. The wood of the bowl is lacquered. The metal parts are decorated with pieces of very thin metal wire of the same metal, wound into a spiral to resemble filigree. Overall, the artwork is reminiscent of Austrian and Hungarian pipes of the XIX century.
In fair condition. There are a couple of very small chips to the wood of the bowl. The wind-cap is a little loose on its hinge. The mouthpiece is missing. The metal shows attractive patina which adds an air of antiquity to the pipe.
Please note that the hand in the last photo is for size reference only.
