This is not just a pipe set; it’s a slice of British history wrapped in artistry and craftsmanship. The Alfred Dunhill Coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838 Shell Briar Sandblast Pipe Set pays homage to the grandeur of Queen Victoria’s coronation while showcasing Dunhill’s unparalleled dedication to pipe-making excellence.

At the heart of this set is the Group 4 Quaint Dublin Shell Briar Pipe, finished in Dunhill’s iconic sandblasted texture. The rugged, tactile surface captures the essence of raw craftsmanship, giving it a character that speaks of tradition and skill. Its deep, earthy tones exude understated elegance, while the sterling silver band, hallmarked with precision, adds a subtle touch of refinement. The pipe feels substantial yet comfortable, with its Quaint Dublin shape designed for both form and function—a perfect blend of practicality and heritage.

Accompanying the pipe is a sterling silver sceptre tamper, a tribute to the regality of the Victorian era. Intricately detailed, with a ruby-like gem at its crest, this tamper isn’t just an accessory; it’s a symbol of the grandeur and ceremonial importance of the occasion it commemorates.

The set is presented in a leather-bound book case, designed to resemble a treasured historical tome. Adorned with gold embossing and a striking portrait of Queen Victoria, the case transforms this collector’s item into a true work of art. It’s as much a conversation starter as it is a secure home for this remarkable pipe and tamper.

Limited to only 110 sets, this edition is a rare and valuable piece for those who appreciate the marriage of history, craftsmanship, and exclusivity. It’s not merely a pipe—it’s a nod to the past, a celebration of tradition, and a testament to Dunhill’s legacy of creating objects that are as timeless as they are functional. For those fortunate enough to own it, this is more than an item; it’s a crown jewel in any collection.
