About the Item
Rare 19th-Century Meerschaum Pipe Depicting Eros and Psyche – Erotic Mythological Scene, Vienna, ca. 1890
An exceptional and finely carved meerschaum figural pipe featuring a sensuous mythological scene of Eros embracing the nude Psyche, attributed to late 19th-century Vienna. The composition captures the lovers entwined in a moment of intimacy and affection, masterfully rendered in high relief.
The anatomical detailing, sculptural movement, and smooth patina reflect the work of a highly skilled artisan. The erotic motif, cloaked in classical allegory, typifies the Romantic and Symbolist trends of fin-de-siècle Europe, where mythology served as a vehicle for refined sensuality.
The pipe is housed in its original red velvet-lined fitted case, stamped:
"R. Schischmanek, Zur Türken Pfeife, Mariahilferstr. 25, Wien"
This identifies it as sold by a respected Viennese tobacconist active around the 1880s–1900s, known for Turkish-style and high-quality artisan pipes. The address, located on Vienna’s prestigious Mariahilfer Straße, underscores the shop’s elite clientele.
The stem is crafted in dark amber , complementing the warm tone of the aged meerschaum.
