David Oscarson 25th Anniversary Ruby Red Fountain Pen

Description

The 25th Silver Anniversary Collection is a celebration of the Art Nouveau motif and twenty-five years of excellence in design. This commemorative collection is crafted from solid .925 Sterling Silver and incorporates10 colors of Translucent and Opaque Hard Enamels over fifteen sections of Guilloché engraving. Each individual component is Guilloche-engraved and repeatedly kiln-fired and filed by hand.

The motif of the cap and clip are a tribute to Renee Lalique’s dragonfly-woman corsage (1897 -8), made for famous French actress, Sarah Bernhardt, and shown at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1900. The artwork featured on the barrel is a recreation of Alphonse Mucha’s masterpiece entitled La Plume (the pen) from 1899. Each gripping section features inlaid opaque hard enamel and a cabochon onyx adorns the top and bottom of each Collection piece.
