Sheaffer is delighted to present the second edition
of its Sheaffer Legacy® Heritage Victorian Series, a beautifully etched
Sterling Silver fountain pen to honor one of the most prolific artisans of
the period – William Morris.
The Victorian Era covered the 64-year reign of Queen
Victoria from 1837-1901, and many social, political and religious
movements flourished during this period. William Morris founded one such
movement - the English Arts and Crafts Movement.
In 1861, Morris set up his own company, producing an
impressive range of decorative items for home, including furniture, rugs
and textiles, ceramics and stained glass. One of Morris's chief
contributions was as a designer of repeating patterns for wallpaper and
textiles, many of which were based on a close observation of nature and
flora.
The exquisite and intricately engraved pattern of
this edition of the Sheaffer Legacy® Heritage Victorian Series has been
chosen to celebrate Morris's mastership of decorative arts and his
contributions to the Victorian aesthetic. |
