English Estates: Dunhill Bruyere (252) (F/T) (4) (A) (1964) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-38309
This 1964 Billiard from Dunhill features a lovely, vibrant application of their timeless Bruyere finish, the warm stain both keeping the appearance classic and also revealing a lovely display of birdseye across the right flank, while the rim and underside are awash with cross grain. I've always been fond of the historic marque's traditional execution of shape chart standards, and I could readily build a whole rotation on nothing but favored Billiards. And this Group 4 offering would be an excellent addition to any collection of classically inclined designs.
The Bruyere was Alfred Dunhill's original finish upon launching his brand of premium pipes and smoking accessories and was the only Dunhill finish from 1910 until 1917. Even after the addition of other finishes, the Bruyere maintained a high level of popularity, becoming synonymous with what is thought of, even today, as the quintessential pipe. To achieve the iconic, ruby hue and saturation, a skilled craftsman painstakingly layers particular stains in a precise manner, then meticulously polishes the pipe to a high luster. The final result is, simply put, timeless.
