Lot 50: Four Vintage Smoking Pipes and a Brass Ship-Form Wall Rack

A group of four vintage smoking pipes displayed on a wall-mounted, cast brass pipe rack. The rack is designed as a three-masted sailing ship with a decorative scrollwork base and four integrated rings to hold the pipes, exhibiting an aged brass patina. The pipes feature predominantly wood bowls and shanks, likely briar, with three showing a smooth, dark finish and one presenting a lighter, ‘rusticated’ texture. Stems appear to be a dark composite material. Visible markings include “GOLDEN SQUARE LONDON MADE” on the stem of the third pipe from the left, accompanied by a distinct square logo, while other pipes exhibit faint, illegible text on their shanks or stems.
