Special Grand Topkapi Calabash Meerschaum Pipe

Special Grand Topkapi Calabash Meerschaum Pipe - What a spectacular pipe! This giant Topkapi calabash pipe is immaculately carved and polished to a luxurious shine. The design is inspired by the architecture of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. A beaded pattern frames carved pillars and indentations of scrolled designs that depict portions of the palace's construction. The pipe's calabash lip features a circle of carved round beads that mirror the pillars' bead design. Ending with a marbled, amber-toned, slightly bent stem, the rest of the pipe bowl and its lengthy shank are carved in a silky smooth, glossy finish. With ample space for your preferred tobacco, the pipe bowl provides excellent depth.

The exquisite craftsmanship created a meerschaum pipe that is not only sturdy in the hand but will also be a great smoking pipe. With its striking appearance, this grand pipe not only highlights the artistry involved but also reflects the rich heritage of the palace's architectural style. Each detail, from the intricate carvings to the polished surfaces, tells a story of dedication and cultural significance, making this meerschaum pipe a true work of art.

This outstanding meerschaum pipe is expertly hand-carved from 100% genuine solid block meerschaum, imported directly from the heart of central Turkey—the world’s most renowned source of high-grade meerschaum. Each pipe is individually carved by skilled artisans, then dipped in natural beeswax to form a protective coating. This beeswax finish not only enhances the pipe’s visual warmth and texture but also assists in drawing out tar and smoke particles, contributing to a smoother smoking experience. As it is used, the pipe will gradually develop a rich patina, deepening in color and character. The stem is crafted from durable Amberoid acrylic, chosen for its striking appearance and long-lasting strength, ensuring a refined finish that complements the elegance of the carved bowl.

Each of our solid block meerschaum pipes is individually hand-carved, making it a truly unique, one-of-a-kind work of art. This Topkapi meerschaum pipe is not only a functional piece but also a collector’s treasure, reflecting the artistry and tradition of skilled craftsmanship. The pipe is presented in a black leather handmade case with a durable brass hinge and soft velvet lining on the interior. The case is custom-made, ensuring your meerschaum pipe is a tailored fit for safe storage and protection.
