SAILOR EXCLUSIVE EDITION KING OF PEN IMPERIAL TSAREVICH FABERGE EGG FOUNTAIN PEN

Description

Fabergé created the egg as a tribute to Tsarevich Alexei. Unknown to all but the royal family, Alexei was expected to die of hemophilia and was at one point so close to death that the Russian Imperial Court had already drawn up his death certificate. When Alexei survived, Fabergé, who knew of the Tsarevich's health, created the egg for Alexei's mother as a tribute to the miracle of his survival.
Subsequent owners included antiques dealer Armand Hammer, who moved from Paris to New York in the early 1930s. Philanthropist Lillian Thomas Pratt (1876–1947) of Fredericksburg, Virginia, purchased the egg in New York from Hammer in 1933–34. The egg was bequeathed by her in 1947 to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Virginia, where it remains on permanent view.
This exclusive (1 of 1) ebonite Sailor King of Pen is a commemoration to the famous Fabergé Tsarevich egg. It has been masterfully hand painted by the recognized Paleh artist Anna Kosach (signed at the tip of the barrel) and covered with 5-7 layers of plant-produced clear lacquer.
The pen is new and never used. It will be shipped in the original Sailor KOP box with all original documentation.
This King of Pen is
truly
to be a King of any pen collections.
