Conway Stewart Wellington Prototype (Mardi Gras) Fountain Pen, 2014

During 2014, Conway Stewart worked with the Bexley Pen Company in Ohio, USA, to acquire various materials for the possible launch a collection of limited edition series. This Wellington prototype fountain pen is crafted from handmade acrylic that was featured on the Bexley Celebration 2005 Mardi Gras Limited Edition Series.  It is a one-of-a-kind prototype, and did not enter into full factory production run..

Introduced in 2013, the Conway Stewart Wellington is a substantial pen crafted with a subtly curvaceous form to both cap and barrel, an exciting shape that sets the Wellington apart from traditional pen designs.

Created with an eye for the Continental flair for a sleek and classic look, the Wellington model combines the time-honored use of rich marbled resin with polished solid gold or sterling silver trim to result in a pen that suits both high fashions as well as tasteful refinement.

The experienced artisans gave exceptional care and attention as they assembled each pen on-site at the Conway Stewart factory premises in Devon, UK.

Two 18-carat solid gold or sterling silver bands accent the barrel of each pen. The nibs are crafted out of 18-carat solid gold. Special attention was given by the team at Conway Stewart to ensure the nibs create a smooth wet line, satisfying even the most demanding writer. The Wellington utilizes a reliable cartridge converter filling system.
