Omas Pens...1996 Sign for Children
Commemorating UNICEF's 50th Anniversary in Sterling Silver (0.925), mint in
original box. The list price is $2000.
But I am selling at very much lower
than this!! Very low price considering that this has been launched in 1996….4
years later today…you can hardly see it anymore. Moreover there were only
300 pcs produced worldwide!!
The Nicola Trussardi is one of the
hottest pens in the Unicef designs. His grandfather, Dante Trussardi, who
founded the Trussardi company, was well known worldwide for his technical
precision in glove manufacturing. As proven in his pret-a-porter
collections, Nicola Trussardi brought a sense of refinement and an
understanding of the fashion industry to his grandfathers company whose
label is now recognized internationally.
Christies
Auction
The OMAS Signs for Children series
is a very limited line designed to benefit Unicef. On October 14, 1996
Christies of London auctioned off the 24 "one of a kind " pieces
in Rome, Italy. Following the auction, the 24 pens were produced as limited
edition in silver and solid gold. In keeping with the generosity and support
for which UNICEF is so well known, a portion of the proceeds were put forth
to assist with their most financially demanding programs.
This collection, comprises of 24
pens, is born from a most unusual and enthusiastic collaboration. Famous
names have been conveyed by means of their drawing. A personal message. Some
were simple and some were rather elaborate yet all were imbued with the
artist’s personality. Respecting each one’s individual style, as is the
nature of Omas. Omas have transcribed the essence of these drawing onto the
bodies of each model within the constraints of material limitation and
construction requirements.
The
Design
The silver filigrees are uniformly
shaped in a classic important and refined manner. The underlining bodies
were exquisitely fashioned of an organic resin. The color of Unicef blue was
not only a tribute to Unicef but also contrast perfectly against the
precious metal sheathing. The silver filigrees have an additional rhodium
plating for aesthetic consideration. Nib is 18K solid gold. Every clip is
accented by a small roller of genuine Lapis Lazuli. Each model was inscribe
with the author signature and Omas logo. Each is individually number.
Pen
is New
The fountain pen is new and has
never been used, dipped nor inked. Comes with the original gift box and
paper. Very elaborate packing and boxes (see photo).
