Michel Perchin
Pens and Ephemera

This green Michel Perchin Fabergé Imperial Russia fountain pen is quite possibly the most beautiful and luxurious writing instrument we have ever offered. Look at how the hand-carved guilloché glitters under than hand-painted polished glass enamel. Simply stunning! Its cap and barrel started as a block of solid sterling silver. Once it was carved into shape by hand, it was guilded in gold and the green-glass enamel was painstakingly applied layer by layer. Made the same way the Fabergé eggs were made, it is more than just a pen. It is both jewelry and art. Numbered 97 of only 500, our preowned luxury pen was never used and comes complete with all of its papers and boxes.

Inspired by the incredible Fabergé Eggs of the Russian czar, the artisans at Michel Perchin set out to recreate the eggs as writing instruments! Our Michel Perchin Fabergé Imperial Russia in red emulates the stunning works of art beautifully. The entire cap and barrel are made of solid sterling silver that was then engraved by hand with intricate guilloché. The higher relief work was coated in gold, while the quilloché work was painstakingly enameled with red glass! Each of only 500 hand-made pens of this design took hundreds of hours to complete. This is pen 97 of 500. You might be the lucky first person to ever write with it, as it has sat unused in storage for nearly 30 years. Comes complete with all of its original boxes and papers. Its 18k gold nib is two-toned and looks like a fine point. Click the headline for close-ups.
