Conway Stewart Sterling Silver Henry Simpole Chatsworth Classic Black Limited Edition Rollerball, 2007

Launched in 2007, the Chatsworth Collection is an overlay design commissioned for Conway Stewart by award-winning artist Henry Simpole. This is by far the most detailed and intricate filigree design for Conway Stewart by Simpole.

Simpole personally invested decades of passion into his love of art and precious metal overlay designs. He lived for the development and creation of his new designs, some more complicated with intricate filigree, while others captured characters or faces within his finely crafted network of gleaming sterling silver.

Simpole drew inspiration for his pattern ideas from sources as varied as antique theatre programmes and vintage ornament storage boxes and from his extensive library of great artists: Rene Lalique, William Morris, Moorcroft, and numerous others, with particular attention to his favorite, Alphonse Mucha.

The Chatsworth design incorporates delicate lace-like strands of silver with a graceful and enchanting bow whose design was drawn from a much loved Valentines card.

With every hand-made and hand-polished Simpole designed overlay for Conway Stewart, Henry meticulously worked into the design the initials 'C' & 'S' (Conway Stewart). Many people who have purchased previous overlays through Conway Stewart are unaware of the letters woven into the design. This design feature alone can take up to another 40 hours to ensure that the two initials work harmoniously within the filigree pattern. The Chatsworth Collection takes this to another step, and not only are the initials 'C' and 'S' incorporated, there are two further letters; 'J' and 'G' in honour of the two founders of this great British pen company in 1905, Jarvis and Garner. 

The Conway Stewart Chatsworth Collection offers the opportunity to acquire the best of British craftsmanship and sophistication in handcrafted overlays from English craftsman Henry Simpole of London.
