Additional information:
- The art of damascene is an ancient craft that has been done since ancient times in civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, Rome, Japan and China. It basically consists of the realization of ornamental motifs by inlaying gold threads or sheets in iron or steel objects, using a small hammer to do so. Once the pattern has been made, the piece is heated to about 800 °C so that it is perfectly visible. In doing so, the steel surfaces oxidize and blacken, while the gold shines. This technique, which has been perfected over the centuries, was introduced by the Arabs in Spain, where the imperial city of Toledo became an important center of reference that still has an important industry of damascene products. In 1931, the German brand Pelikan adopted this technique in the production of the 111T fountain pen, the first model of the Toledo collection, and such was its acceptance that the original design has remained practically unchanged to the present day. Nowadays, the ornamental band is placed on a solid sterling silver sleeve that is carefully worked in successive steps until it is finally coated with 24-carat gold. It is a laborious process, entirely handmade and individually made, which concludes with the signing and numbering of the piece, which thus becomes a unique and exclusive work. The decoration of this authentic writing jewel is completed with an excellent 18k gold nib with a two-tone finish and an elegant gold-plated clip with the pelican motif that gives the firm its name, mounted on the cap, which, like the barrel, is made of high quality black resin. This is a true work of art and a piece of history that is only available to a privileged few.
