About the Item

This Italian briar pipe by Farinacci of Rome is a fine example of mid-century craftsmanship, balancing simplicity with refined proportions. The bowl is shaped in the classic Billiard style, with an upright cylindrical chamber that emphasizes clean, modern lines. The briar remains in a natural finish, with a light matte surface that highlights the subtle grain variations and gives the piece a sober, understated elegance. The shank is stamped Farinacci – Roma, a clear mark of the Roman workshop, known among collectors for its dedication to traditional Italian pipe making. The stem, in black vulcanite, is fitted seamlessly to the shank, finishing in a flattened fishtail bit that ensures comfort in smoking. Its straight form, combined with the minimal finishing, speaks of a utilitarian elegance: a pipe made to be used, but also appreciated as a well-balanced object. Overall, this Farinacci embodies Italian postwar design values—simplicity, functionality, and modest refinement. It will appeal both to collectors of Italian briars and to those who appreciate the quiet authenticity of pipes outside the major production houses.
