English Estates: Dunhill Shell Patent Billiard (H) (60/1) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-39455
Rendered in elegant English proportions, this Billiard from Dunhill is a classically handsome piece. The bowl of this offering possesses subtly curved walls and a handsomely-rounded feel, lending it an admirable profile. Joining the bowl is a trim, rounded shank, which is in turn met by a sleekly-tapered stem of vulcanite. This offering comes dressed in Dunhill's iconic Shell Briar finish.
The Shell Briar's addition to the Dunhill catalog was a pivotal moment in pipe-smoking history. Before 1917, pipes with sandblasted finishes had never been made, and Alfred Dunhill's innovative mind created arguably the most popular finish for pipes today when he unveiled the Shell Briar. With its dark, reserved color palette and delightful texture, it's no surprise that it's still wildly popular over a century later.
