A Rare, Unsmoked Piece of French Pipemaking History Featuring a Striking Bent Dublin Silhouette, Exquisite Birdseye Grain, and Inset Year Plaque
The Architecture & French Soul For the discerning collector looking to anchor their collection with a pristine piece of historical French design, this Butz-Choquin Millésime 1988 is a stunning find. Released as an individually numbered, limited annual edition, this New Old Stock (NOS) pipe has never felt the touch of a flame. It features a sweeping, highly stylized bent Dublin shape with a forward-leaning, conical bowl that flows seamlessly into a gracefully arched shank. The briar displays an incredibly dense canvas of swirling birdseye grain across the flanks, complemented by tight cross-grain along the profile lines.
The left side of the shank is adorned with the original, flush-set silver-toned plaque cleanly stamped 1988. It comes paired with its original cumberland-pattern acrylic stem, accented by an elegant briar-toned trim ring and the iconic white BC insert. Entirely unsmoked, flawlessly preserved, and accompanied by its original protective pouch, this is a rare opportunity to own an immaculate, serial-numbered survivor from Saint-Claude's golden era.
Curation Notes:
Condition: New Old Stock (NOS) / Unsmoked. The factory finish is deep, glassy, and completely blemish-free bar some natural inclusions from the briar. The bowl rim is perfectly crisp and pristine, and the chamber is entirely fresh.
Nomenclature: The left shank features the inset 1988 metal plaque. The underside of the shank is cleanly stamped with the individual serial number 1028 alongside the crisp Butz-Choquin and Millésime factory stamps.
Inclusions: Includes original Butz-Choquin branded pipe pouch (No box).
