Russian Imperial Limited Edition Writing Instruments

The Russian Imperial Collection, the 28th in the David Oscarson™ series, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Romanov family's abdication and celebrates their 304-year reign with an exquisite tribute to the artistry of that era. Each pen is a masterpiece, produced in four stunning color variations, with a total of just 304 pieces in the collection.

These pens are crafted from solid Sterling Silver, featuring intricate Guilloché sunbursts and interlocking double-leaf motifs inspired by the 1896 Coronation Egg, a symbol of Nicholas II's coronation. The design is further enriched with double-headed eagles on the gripping section and floral rosettes on the clip, while Cyrillic script encircles the cap ring, all finished in luxurious Hot Enamel.

The creation of each pen is a testament to Old World craftsmanship, blending the centuries-old technique of Guilloché with the delicate art of Hard Enamel. The enamel process involves grinding glass, water, and metal oxides by hand, applying the mixture with a quill, and firing it in a furnace at over 1,000°F to fuse the enamel to the metal. The painstaking process is repeated until the intricate patterns are perfectly covered and the pieces are polished to reveal a velvet-like finish.

The production of these pens requires exceptional skill, with artisans undergoing a five-year apprenticeship to achieve the highest levels of quality. The Russian Imperial Collection is not just a writing instrument but a piece of art that embodies the grandeur and elegance of the Romanov dynasty.
