King Proteas hand-painted fountain pen

ZAR7,500.00

King Proteas, painted by Yulia Glas, features many of these beautiful flowers, and a Malachite sunbird pollinating the flowers. Protea cynaroides, is South Africa’s national flower and is one of our most popular cut-flower exports. Yulia has detailed each leaf, and the underside of the bird’s wings, in gold which really lights up when seen in sunlight. She has also added a delicate, almost lace-like pattern at either end of the pen.

We have completed the pen by mixing a custom resin colour in protea-leaf-green, adding a hand-made argentium silver cap band and section ring, and our silver logo in the cap finial.

Each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. If you would like to request a custom pen from Yulia, you are welcome to contact us via the contact form on our website.

Nib:

Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.

The Jabulani model

SPECIFICATIONS

This is a gently curvaceous model, with a girth of 16 mm (0,6”), narrowing to a 10,7 mm (0,4”) grip section. The relatively large size of the model is to allow the artist sufficient space for their artwork, and the artwork is encased in a layer of clear resin to protect it from getting damaged during day-to-day use. Our logo medallion is embedded in the cap finial which is ever-so-slightly rounded, and the barrel finial is ever-so-slightly conical. The cap is a flush-fit and does not post. The Jabulani model usually comes with a hand-made, cap band and section ring in either Argentium silver or bronze, though this may differ depending on what best suits the artwork. Custom hand-crafted roll stops can be added.
