[Sold] Les Feuilles hand-painted fountain pen
R6,000
Les Feuilles is one of the first of our fountain pens painted by Kseniia Nel. This design includes layers of liquid gold (an astonishing paint from Japan), a sinuous pattern of subtle white dots, overlaid by an abstract arrangement of greeny-turquoise leaves, with highlights of dotted gold. Hence the name, les feuilles (leaves in French.) It is an elegant, understated yet somehow opulent pen of exquisite taste. (Excuse me while I gush … )
Kseniia is a versatile artist who has studied in both Ukraine and in Norway where she completed a Masters in Fine Art. She is happy to consider requests for commissions, so if you would like to suggest a particular theme, please let us know via the contact form.
This pen includes an engraved nib, our logo medallion in bronze, and a bronze cap band and bronze section ring.
One thing we should emphasise is that 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 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.
