Stanwell Royal Sandblasted (190) Straight Billiard

This Stanwell Royal series pipe presents the classic straight billiard shape (No. 190) with a deep sandblasted finish that highlights the 's grain texture. The design is distinguished by its hexagonal shank and brass accent ring—a distinctive feature that originated with Stanwell's Sixtus series. Though this example belongs to the Royal line, it retains the brass accent characteristic of its Sixtus predecessors, illustrating how signature design elements sometimes persisted across different series. The straight billiard form exhibits balanced proportions with a traditional upright bowl and tapered stem. Stanwell's Danish craftsmanship is evident in the precise shaping and functional elegance. The pipe's dating derives from its model history: the Shape 190 with brass accent first appeared in the Sixtus series, with this Royal version representing a later production period while maintaining the original decorative detail.
