Description:
This pipe is a handcrafted briar smoking pipe from Charatan, a historic English brand established in 1863. The pipe features a smooth, polished finish with a classic shape that exemplifies traditional English pipe-making craftsmanship. The stem is crafted with attention to detail, often incorporating a twin-saddle design, and the overall construction reflects Charatan’s dedication to creating fully handmade pipes from the raw briar block to the finished product.
Markings on the shank and stem—such as the CP logo or the circled L —can indicate the era of production, particularly aligning with the mid-20th-century Lane Era when the brand gained popularity in the U.S. The pipe combines elegance and functionality, making it suitable for collectors and smoking enthusiasts interested in classic English pipes.
Vintage Charatan pipes, depending on their condition, shape, and era, generally range in value from 150 to 450 USD on secondary markets. It was part of Mr. Faraj trips to Turkey to Switzerland in September 2025
