Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
This Stanwell pipe represents the Danish maker's Gilt Edged line in the classic 191 bent Rhodesian shape. The pipe exhibits the characteristic Rhodesian form with a rounded, slightly flattened bowl and a distinct ring around the bowl's circumference. The bent stem provides a comfortable smoking angle typical of this shape family. The Gilt Edged designation suggests a finish treatment that may include gold-colored accents or banding, though specific decorative elements are not detailed. As an estate pipe from Denmark, it carries the hallmarks of Stanwell's approach to shaping, which often blends traditional English forms with Scandinavian design sensibilities. The pipe is identified by the stampings 'Stanwell,' 'Gilt Edged,' and the shape number '191,' which consistently denotes this bent Rhodesian pattern in the brand's numbering system.
