The Henrik Wigstrom Trophy Pen is the first in a series
of limited edition writing instruments based on the elegant
style and artistic mastery
of Old World craftsmanship.
Inspired by his 1907 masterpiece, this one-of-a-kind
collection stands as a tribute to the fabulous works of
Henrik Wigstrom, Head Workmaster to Peter Carl Fabergé
Hand-crafted from .925 Sterling Silver, each individual
instrument passes through multiple stages of precision
engraving, creating a beautiful pattern known as "guilloché"
This engraving technique, which brings life and light
to the surface of precious metals was used repeatedly
by Wigstrom and Fabergé in the creation of the
Imperial Eggs and countless objets de fantasie
Translucent hard enamel is ground by hand and applied
with a quill to the guilloché surface of the silver.
Each piece is then fired in a furnace at
temperatures exceeding 1,400° F, where the enamel
is fused to the silver and formed into glass. The glowing
pieces are removed and cooled, then
ground by hand with a diamond file to restore their original
shape and surface.
This tedious process is performed repeatedly to achieve
the depth of enamel needed to cover the peaks and fill
the valleys of the guilloché pattern.
The final stage of firing requires no grinding, filing
or polishing. The result is a perfect finish of translucent
glass enamel.
Engineered in Heidelberg, Germany and bearing
the monogram of Henrik Wigstrom, the 18-karat gold nib
is unsurpassed in quality and form.
Coupled with an ebonite feeder, each nib is plated with
rhodium and tipped with iridium to ensure durability in
fine, medium and broad sizes.
