The ultimate writing instrument for the dedicated pen connoisseur is crafted entirely from solid 925 sterling silver. The Grand Viceroy Victorian fountain pen has perfect balance and its imposing dimensions give it a sense of authority.
The Victorian pattern is applied entirely by hand, exactly as Birmingham silversmiths would have finished silverware and writing instruments in the Victorian era, before mechanized engine turning became the industry standard. This pattern has been achieved with up to 3,000 hand-chasing taps.
The pattern exists for two reasons: practically, the hand-chased texture provides a secure grip on the silver barrel, while aesthetically, it showcases the exceptional level of craftsmanship of Yard-O-Led's jewelers.
No two Victorian pattern pens are identical, and each hand chaser develops their own slight variation on the pattern. Subsequently, our workshop can identify whose work a pen is, just by looking at it, when it comes back for servicing even decades later.
Handmade in England, the Grand Viceroy Victorian fountain pen has a magnificent solid 18K gold nib and comes with a lifetime warranty.
