Description
The Pierrot and Pierrette Collection is the sixth within the David OscarsonTM series of Restricted Edition writing instruments. Produced in two color variations, each and every might be Restricted to production of 88 items (together with fountain pens and roller balls).
The legend of Pierrot and Pierrette started within the 17th century when Jean-Antoine Watteau committed to canvas two clowns who were later made famous by the Italian Commedia dell’arte. This undying Duo used to be then adapted to French pantomime where Pierrot is a noble and a laugh-loving clown; he’s lonely and in love with the gorgeous Pierrette, whose affections run cold and hot. When his affections are returned, they are able to be seen sitting in combination at the crescent of the moon. When she ignores him, Pierrot sits at the moon by himself, strumming his mandolin and pining for his beloved Pierrette.
In the spirit of artistic mastery and the tradition of Old World craftsmanship, this inspiring Collection combines the centuries-old method of Guilloché with the art and expertise of Laborious Enamel. The Pierrot and Pierrette Collection is the primary to include three levels of Guilloché and five colors of translucent and opalescent (white) or opaque (black) Laborious enamel on each and every Collection piece. In step with the neutral backgrounds, the Duo is completed in Rhodium vermeil.
The Art Deco design of this Restricted Edition requires three separate stages of engraving. All the body of the pen is first cut all the way down to the extent of the background, leaving the outlines of the overlapping circles in top relief. The canvas pattern is then engraved onto the outside of the body of the pen (seen best at the Pierrette). The third stage of engraving applies the sunburst motif to the outside of each and every circle, keeping up the focus center in top relief. Translucent Copper Bronze and Opalescent White Enamel with 18-kt. Yellow Gold Vermeil
