Tefaf in Maastricht

16 marzo 2025

Where smoking is increasingly being pushed back in society, we see the opposite at the most authoritative art fair in our country. During our tour of the renowned TEFAF in Maastricht, we visited two stands with remarkable smoking paraphernalia. The first is Eric Delalande from Paris, a long-time participant with exclusive collector's items including tobacology. This year he is showing a magnificent table pipe in meerschaum with a height of no less than eighty centimeters. Once made for a world exhibition in the 1870s, now the ultimate collector's item for every pipe lover. The second exhibitor is Serge Schoffel, a dealer in ethnography who made a good impression with a selection of African pipes from a Liège collection. He published a book especially on these pipes.
