Masterpieces from the Dutch soil

25 octobre 2026

To mark the release of the new handbook, we are displaying a selection of pipes in the central showcase, the of trouvaille every amateur archaeologist dreams of finding. Each one is a unique piece, crafted with intricate handwork. One features a bowl shaped like a face wearing a large wig with ringlets; another has eight bowls mounted on one single stem. They were created as showpieces for pipe makers' workshops, as pipe shops did not yet exist in the seventeenth century. These exceptional pipes are on display until 25 January 2027.
