- Lot Description
Exceptional, nicely grained dark wood, folk art pipe, most likely carved from laurel root. Superbly and entirely relief carved wood showing professional quality. Front featuring large panel comprised of an extremely high relief carving of a face that appears to be a young lady wearing a wreath across the top of the forehead (could conceivably be a gentleman), the panel fully edged in fancy relief carved fluted and floral-like motifs. Circular large relief panels on the left and right side edged in a rope-like relief motif. Although similar in design, the figures of the animal heads at the center of each panel are different. Left side appears to be a dog head with long snout and long ears folded downward. Animal head on right side appears to be that of a wolf or possibly a puma, with its small pointed ears sticking straight upward. The entire rim along the top as well as the edging on the bottom are carved in high relief with a multi-style flute design. The underside also includes carved large leaf motifs as well as beautifully relief carved, brown beaded-like motifs that border the large relief carved letters, Bull Run, which partially surround a trefoil Corps badge. The small projection that holds the stem is edged with pewter and shows distinctive fancy work, with a small section of that pewter that is also distinctively shaped; two smaller, round pewter inlays at either side. Maximum width 3.25 in.; bowl height 2.75 in., dia. 1.5 in.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Small crack in pipe that extends from face on front panel in the direction of the dog's left ear, although this crack looks to be original to the carving, or something that happened during the period it was made. Inventory number inked on pewter rim of small projection that holds stem. Overall very nice, attractive pipe.Condition
