Collection: David Oscarson Harlequin

The Harlequin Collection is the sixteenth in the David Oscarson™ series of Limited Edition writing instruments.  Produced in five color variations, each will be limited to production of 88 pieces (including fountain pens and roller balls).

As a follow-up to our sold out 2005 edition, Pierrot and Pierrette, Harlequin is the third and unmistakable cast member of the Italian Commedia dell’arte who steals the heart of Pierrette with his witty tongue and daring personality. His anarchic behavior is complimented by his patched costume, which is made from remnants of richer ones... This brash character somehow seems to have the necessary creativity to survive and take his satisfactions in life despite the world that is constantly abusing him.

In the spirit of artistic mastery and the tradition of Old World craftsmanship, this inspiring Collection combines the centuries-old technique of Guilloché with the art and expertise of Hard Enamel.  The Harlequin Collection incorporates multiple levels of Guilloché engraving and five colors of translucent (Red, White, Yellow Green and Blue) and Opaque (Black) hard enamel. The Silver components of the Black Onyx, Pearl White and Sapphire Blue are finished in a bright polish while the Ruby Red and Emerald Green versions are finished in Gold Vermeil.
