Description from the seller
This is an English fountain pen - Full Overlay Floral - 18k solid gold
Exceptional English fountain pen. This specimen features a body and cap with an intricate handcrafted floral engraving in the vintage "Full Overlay" style. It preserves the perfectly legible British contrasts (Birmingham), guaranteeing the purity of the precious metal. A high-collection 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 18k gold-coated body and cap 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 nib in solid 14-karat gold. These nibs are famous for their smoothness and, often, for their flexibility.
• Condition: Excellent state of conservation for its age, with sharp engravings and no deep wear on the metal (brassing).
A highly sophisticated collection piece, ideal for both use and display in a showcase.
Carefully shipped in a generic case with tracking number and insurance
