American aristocrats living on Fifth Avenue in New York City
during the 1930's and 1940's commissioned works from the most talented French interior decorators. The Dupont brothers, as well as other French artists and
architects, were ambassadors of French art de vivre. The products of S.T. Dupont were in much demand in prestigious Manhattan shops.
Now, S.T.
Dupont launches the limited edition New York Fifth Avenue collection a tribute to New York's architecture and design of the 1930's and 1940's. The
marriage of two colors of lacquer, enriched by multiple engraved arabesques, has fully exploited the expertise of our lacquerers and jewelers. Guilloche,
chasing, engraving, plating with precious gold and polishing are all done by hand, giving the items a luxurious luster. Approximately 160 hours of work are
required to produce a single pen four times longer than a standard lacquered pen. Only 1,929 pieces of each mode are available worldwide.
