The Henrik Wigstrom Trophy Pen is the first in a series of
limited edition writing instruments based on the elegant style and artistic mastery of Old World craftsmanship. Inspired by his 1907 masterpiece, this
one-of-a-kind collection stands as a tribute to the fabulous works of Henrik Wigstrom, Head Workmaster to Peter Carl Faberge. Hand-crafted from .925
Sterling Silver, each individual instrument passes through multiple stages of precision engraving, creating a beautiful pattern known as "guilloche". This
engraving technique, which brings life and light to the surface of precious metals was used repeatedly by Wigstrom and Faberge inn the creation of the
Imperial Eggs and countless objets de fantasie. Translucent hard enamel is ground by hand and applied with a quill to the guilloche surface of the
silver. Each piece is then fired in a furnace at temperatures exceeding 1,400? F, where the enamel is fused to the silver and formed into glass. The
glowing pieces are removed and cooled, then ground by hand with a diamond file to restore their original shape and surface. This tedious process is performed
repeatedly to achieve the depth of enamel needed to cover the peaks and fill the valleys of the guilloche pattern. The final stage of firing requires no
grinding, filing or polishing. The result is a perfect finish of translucent glass enamel.Only 128 pieces (100 fountain pens/28 rollers) of each color
are available worldwide.
Featuring an 18kt gold nib with rhodium plating and an iridium tip, the David Oscarson Henrik Wigstrom Trophy fountain pen
is available in fine, medium and broad nib sizes.
