In honour of Sir Arthur Wellesley, Conway Stewart
commemorates the Duke of Wellington's life by
offering the Wellington as a new model within our
range of fine quality writing instruments. Wellington
is widely considered as one of the leading military
and political figures of the first half of the 19th
century, a prominent figure in the history of
England. He achieved many heights throughout his
political career: an Anglo-Irish general and
statesman, chief secretary for Ireland, ambassador
to France, commander in chief of the British army,
victor at the Battle of Waterloo, twice British prime
minister and was one of the leading figures in the
House of Lords.
The striking design has been crafted with a subtly
curvaceous form to both cap and barrel, an exciting
new shape that sets the Wellington apart from
traditional pen designs. The Wellington was created
with an eye to the Continental flair for a sleek and
classic look. This combines with the time honoured
use of rich marbled resin and polished gold trim to
result in a pen that suits both high fashion as well
as tasteful refinement.
The intricate design of the White Whirl in the deep
blue resin of the body gives the pen a lustrous,
unique look. Exceptional care and attention is given
by the experienced craftsmen of Conway Stewart as
they assemble each pen at the factory premises in
Devon, UK. The barrel of the each pen is accented
by two 18 carat hallmarked solid gold bands. For
the fountain pen, the fine point nibs are also crafted
out of 18 carat solid gold. Special attention is given
to the nibs to ensure a smooth wet line, satisfying
even the most demanding writer, and the
Wellington utilizes the reliable cartridge converter
filling system. |
