Description from the seller

An English fountain pen - Full Overlay Floral - 18k solid gold
Exceptional English fountain pen. This example features a body and cap with an intricate artisanal floral engraving in the “Full Overlay” style. It preserves the British contrasts perfectly legible (Birmingham), ensuring the purity of the precious metal. A high-collectible piece that represents the Golden Age of British writing, combining an exquisite ornamental design with the technical reliability of the Swan-type system.
It stands out for its body and cap with 18k gold coating with a contrasting seal, richly decorated with a delicate Art Nouveau-style floral engraving.
• Technical details: Eyedropper filling system. The body bears authenticity stamps that guarantee its origin.
• Nib: Equipped with an original Waterman’s Ideal New York 14-carat solid gold nib. These nibs are renowned for their smoothness and, often, for their flexibility.
• Condition: Excellent state of preservation for its age, with sharp engravings and no deep wear on the metal (brassing).
A highly sophisticated collectible piece, ideal both for use and for display in a cabinet.
Carefully shipped wrapped in a generic case with tracking number and insurance
