[Sold] The Nutcracker – hand-painted fountain pen
R11,000
The Nutcracker, is one of the pens in The Christmas Collection, hand-painted by Hanna Farmer. The Collection is inspired by classic Christmas stories. The Nutcracker, which later became famous as a ballet, was originally a children’s short story written by the Prussian author E T A Hoffman. Hanna has included so many details from the story … the mice; the young Marie and her beau, The Nutcracker, who is cured of an evil spell when she swears she will love him even though he has been cursed to be ugly; the toys who come alive; the ballerina who immediately evokes for me the music box tinkles that I associate with the ballet.
This pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, painted and zendoodled by Hanna then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polished, and buffed. It has a sterling silver roll stop in the shape of a star, individually handmade by Aileen Février.
This pen can be bought individually or together with others from The Christmas Collection. One thing we ought to 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.
