Description

This regal fountain pen by Retro 51 pays tribute to an impressive 1586 suit of armor made in the royal workshops at Greenwich under the direction of master armorer Jacob Halder (British, documented 1558-1608) and now in The Met collection. The suit was designed for George Clifford, Third Earl of Cumberland and an illustrious Knight of the Garter as of 1592, for field and tournament use. This rollerball pen replicates the original artisan’s decorative craftsmanship with Queen Elizabeth I’s family emblem, the Tudor rose, the French fleur-de-lis (then part of the English arms) and two Es back-to-back (Elizabeth’s cipher) printed over the brass barrel and completed with polished brass trim. Housed in a Met-licensed storage cylinder that doubles as a pen stand. Fine or Medium.
