Figural wooden pipe rack designed in the form of an oversized long-stemmed tobacco pipe, with the stem drilled to accept multiple standard smoking pipes for display and storage. Th e sculptural pipe form serves as the rack itself, elevated on a stepped hardwood base that gives the piece both visual presence and stability. The drilled bowl-style stem holes are evenly spaced and smoothly finished, indicating intentional manufacture rather than later modification. Warm-toned wood with a darkened finish and pronounced grain gives the rack a grounded, utilitarian character while still reading as a playful desktop or shelf accessory rooted in mid-century smoking culture. Pipe racks of this type were commonly produced in small American woodworking shops and novelty accessory lines during the mid-20th century, when tobacco use was both a social ritual and a point of personal style, often expressed through display objects rather than concealed storage. In great condition with minimal wear. Light surface marks consistent with age, no significant cracks, chips, or repairs observed. The rack remains stable and fully functional, with clean, intact pipe openings. 21" W x 5" D x 8.5" H MM - 18479 - 122425 For information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms & Conditions page here.
