ASCOT PIPE
CADDIES
The Ascot Pipe Caddies are pipe furniture inspired by
the ‘Pipe Caddy’ from our 1920’s catalogues. They are useful and beautiful
storage solutions for the pipe enthusiast and make formidable and luxurious
gifts.
The Ascot Pipe Caddy comes in two distinctive
finishes – Brown Wenge contrasted with Maple/Sycamore and an almost black smoked
Oak combined with beautiful Kotibé wood.
The inside is completely lined in mahogany like our
cigar humidors and has been enhanced for added functionality not only by adding
the generously sized white tobacco jar, but also a White Spot humidification
unit, pipe cleaners and an exclusive set of specially machined, solid stainless
steel White Spot pipe tools that are not available individually.
Alfred Dunhill Catalogue 1928
The front plaque, placed under the discreet White
Spot dot, is made from solid polished steel and carries the Alfred Dunhill
name.
The capacity of each Ascot Caddie is maximum of 8
pipes, two pipe tools, approximately 20 pipe cleaners, and the tobacco jar takes
approximately 500 gr of tobacco. The pipe caddy also comes equipped with a
self-regulating dunhill humidification unit.
Both models are strictly limited to only 50 units
each world-wide.
World-wide launch October 2010.

| Wenge |
Also known as Palissandre d'Afrique/du Congo (African/
Congolese Rosewood), Faux Ebenier, Dikela, Mibotu, Bokonge and Awong, Wenge is a
tropical timber of the Wenge Tree. (Millettia laurentii). The tree is native to
the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Gabon,
Tanzania, and Mozambique. The tree's heartwood is very dark and dense with a
coarse grain and a pattern of nearly black grains separated by dark brown
grains. The wood's figure is very distinctive, with a strong partridge pattern.
Wenge has become in recent years a wood of choice for contemporary interior
design and furniture. |

| Maple / Sycamore |
Sycamore Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) is a species of maple
native to central Europe and southwestern Asia, from France east to Poland, and
south in mountains to northern Spain, northern Turkey, and the Caucasus. It is
planted for timber production; the wood is white with a silky lustre, and
hard-wearing, used for furniture, wood flooring, parquetry, and musical
instrument making. It is a traditional wood for use in making the backs, necks
and scrolls of violins. Used for the outside edges, the inside sealing lip and
the dividers. |

reaction of the natural acid tannins of the timber with ammonia results in this
