S. Yanik Signed Dragon Slayer Sterling Silver Band Meerschaum Pipe - Pre-owned, highly collectible Sadik Yanik pipe depicts a dragon slayer with sword in hand riding a horse that is standing over a dragon. The pipe was smoked bringing out light golden brown hues with shadings of darker brown. The S. Yanik signature is found on the side of the shank near the end where it connects to a yellow bent saddle stem. A sculpted sterling silver band stamped 900 is mounted on the pipe by the smooth detachable bowl. This exquisite piece is carved in the finest detail. Great collector's pipe as well as a fine smoking pipe that is in excellent condition for a pre-smoked pipe with no visible chips or cracks. Comes in a velvet lined leather chest.
Master Carver S. Yanik began his carving career at age 13 learning from his father. Keeping in the family tradition he taught his son, also a great carver, however neither father nor son carved in the elaborate and ornamental style with such fine detail as Sadik Yanik, a true master of this trade.
The pipe comes from the estate of Patrick Dean Hall of North Carolina, an avid gardener, lover of animals, and life-long passionate meerschaum pipe collector who loved to smoke his pipes.
This meerschaum pipe is hand carved from genuine 100% Solid Block Meerschaum and was imported directly from Turkey. After the pipe was carved it was dipped in beeswax to provide a protective coating and to also draw out smoke particles and tar. The pipe will color even more over time as it is smoked. The stem is made of a special Amberoid Acrylic for a nice finished look and long lasting durability.
