Description An exclusive, limited edition Michel Perchin Metropolitan fountain pen in Royal Blue in its original presentation case!!! LIMITED EDITION: NUMBER 02 OF ONLY 88 AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE Michel Perchin, the man who headed Peter Carl Faberge’s workshop from 1885 to 1903, was a self-taught goldsmith from a peasant background.  It was Perchin who created the Imperial Easter Eggs, as well as many other great works that have become the hallmark of the Faberge brand.  His leadership of the inner circle of Faberge artisans helped to firm Faberge's position as the Jeweler of Russian Royalty.  Each of Michel Perchin's writing instruments are in the memory of his great craftsmanship, innovation, and leadership. One unique feature of Michel Perchin's writing instruments is the enamelling process.  Each writing instrument is enamelled with a hand-applied finish.  This process is the most time consuming and the most detailed process in the world.  Michel Perchin was the first in enamelling writing instruments and is still the leader today in producing beautiful enamelled pens of the highest quality.  Michel Perchin's craftsmen have been producing special pieces for royal families for decades. The Michel Perchin Metropolitan fountain pen is an exquisite design inspired by the magnificent Metropolitan architecture of the late 1800's and early 1900's.  This Michel Perchin piece represents the creation and admiration of our beloved cities around the world.   Each writing instrument is meticulously hand-crafted in Europe from a solid rod of .925 sterling silver and engraved to the highest, world-class goldsmith standards.  Multiple layers of translucent enamel are baked onto the guilloché pattern, adding and beauty to the herringbone design.  This synergy of the latest technology and old-world craftsmanship produces a classic design with a transparency of modern sophistication.  All trim is plated in gold.  The edition number is engraved into the cap band.  The Metropolitan has a fantastic, two-toned 18 KT gold Michel Perchin nib, which is medium in size; the Michel Perchin logo appears prominently on the nib.  The Metropolitan uses ink cartridges, or a converter can be added and the pen would accept ink from a bottle or inkwell. The physical condition of the limited edition Michel Perchin Metropolitan fountain pen is mint; it has never been used.  All pen imprints are clear and completely legible; the Metropolitan fountain pen is in pristine condition.  This is an ideal pen for someone looking to add a very unique, beautiful limited edition Michel Perchin Metropolitan fountain pen to their collection of fine writing instruments. This large limited edition Michel Perchin Metropolitan fountain pen is 6" long capped and 5.25" long uncapped.  The cap is over .625" in diameter at its widest point.     This limited edition Michel Perchin Metropolitan fountain pen is presented in its original Michel Perchin presentation case with outer box and Michel Perchin certificate of authenticity, as shown in the accompanying photographs.  The Metropolitan fountain pen and all packaging are in new, mint condition.  Whenever possible, purchases made on the same day will be combined to reduce delivery costs. prahaBLEU ITEM NUMBER: 90101799-02           Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.
