[Spoken for] The Black Swan hand-painted fountain pen

R14,000 – R18,000

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

This fountain pen is a tribute to the film, Black Swan starring Natalie Portman, and to the moral of the story behind the film. We are thrilled that this pen is featured in the current issue of Pen World Magazine.
The images on the barrel depict the dancer striving for that flawless performance as the white Swan Princess, yet also needing to be more loose and open and vulnerable, hence the naked ballerina. It also shows how the stresses of trying to achieve multiple roles in our lives can lead to cracks forming. The cap shows the Black Swan eclipsing the Swan Princess, symbolizing how one side invariably overpowers the other.
Self-taught artist Brandon Lodewyk drew the Black Swan in pencil, ranging from 2B to 12B. (The photographs show the pen in ‘color’ and again in black and white, as the monochrome effect shows the details to better effect.)

This pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, illustrated by Brandon in graphite, then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polished, and buffed. We have added a black grip section, as well as a silver section ring, and our logo medallion (in silver) embedded in the cap finial.

Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.

Nib:

Available in Jowo #6 in 18kt gold or polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.

The Jabulani model

SPECIFICATIONS

This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
