[Sold] Tribute to Longfellow hand-painted fountain pen

R11,500

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Two poems by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow are featured on this hand-painted pen by Hanna Farmer: The Arrow and the Song on the cap and The Wreck of the Hesperus on the barrel. The cap shows a person in silhouette shooting an arrow and it lodging in an ancient oak. The barrel shows the tragic consequences of a scornful skipper taking his daughter on an ill-fated voyage in winter. How Hanna has managed to fit all of this on a fountain pen is remarkable.

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 silver cap band, section ring, and silver logo medallion in the cap finial, and we have added a matching deep-sea blue section.

Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art, hence 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.
