About This Pipe

A student of the legendary Poul Rasmussen, Svend Axel Celius was one of the first carvers to fully grasp the US thirst for the (then) up-and-coming Danish freehand pipe. At the zenith of his production, Celius employed twenty workers, but his untimely passing stripped him of the critical acclaim his pipes where deserving of. Ultimately his legacy now lies in the collections of a small group of loyal followers. The Celius pipe has three distinct groupings: Chess, Zenia and the Fantasy. Here we have a gorgeous Knight graded piece from the Chess series. Surprisingly, at nearly thirty years of age, this pipe has remained unsmoked. This is quite a find.
