This quality Fountain Pen was created by myself, David Ashley. I have been a professional artist for 20 years, working in many mediums including Pastels, Wax Painting, Pen & Ink, Water Colour, Pyrography and Pen Crafting.. Much of my work has been sold to people from all over the world. I have been fortunate to enough to make a living from my passion, my passion to create. I take extreme pride in my work...... always.
As with all the pens from my Premier range, this beautiful piece comes with a photographic ID card which I have signed then laminated to last.The card features images of this particular pen both on the front and back of the card. See example image. A second card is also incuded detailing the process used in the making of this pen. Both cards are credit card sized.
Now this is a really stunning piece!! When held in the light, the colours 'come alive'. YOU NEED to see it in real life! Absolutely gorgeous. A functional piece of art with no other like it.........................................anywhere.
Designed to please the most discriminating pen collector, this magnificent piece features four unique hand carved patterns found on the ends, clip and accent rings. Hand cast, polished then plated with precious 22 K gold, these stunning decorative inlays are encompassed throughout by Rhodium plated fittings. It exudes quality and elegance unmatched by any other pen. Attention is paid to the very smallest detail during the production of this magnificent pen with each component hand checked for proper fit and finish before assembly. Assembled components are then hand polished and checked once again to ensure a flawless fit. The pen barrels are created by myself, David Ashley. This is not turned from one of the readily available celluloid blanks but a unique hand mixed piece that guarantees originality. I have been a successful Australian artist for many years and now express myself artistically in the handmixing and turning of my pens. Each is original and unique. These are the finest pens I have created. The solid feel and weight immediately state the obvious, this is quality. These new fittings are pure class.
