ABOUT PRODUCTID 19966
This Austrian dip pen from the 1920s embodies the Art Deco aesthetic through its elongated, geometric silhouette and precise color division. The slender, cylindrical body, crafted from bakelite, features a vivid, cool green tone polished to a reflective sheen. A striking contrast is provided by the faceted black end, sharply separated from the main body, creating a clear, two-tone composition. The metal nib, set in a simple ferrule, carries a subtle patina consistent with its age but remains fully functional. The design is understated, with no decorative engravings or embellishments, allowing the material quality and proportions to take center stage. The pen is preserved in very good vintage condition, exhibiting only minimal superficial scratches and slight traces of use.The form of this pen recalls the atmosphere of 1920s modernist Europe, when advances in material technology enabled new explorations with bakelite and everyday objects became small manifestos of modernity. The green sheen of the bakelite conjures visions of a Viennese study—where every note was a personal ritual and the pursuit of clarity and harmony in form reflected the spirit of the era. The geometric black-green division lends the pen a minimalist strength and discreet sense of sophistication.This pen could be displayed on a substantial wooden desk or within a collector’s glass case, where its slender line and vivid color would create a striking accent among writing accessories or other Art Deco pieces. It may be paired with a minimalist inkwell, a marble tray, or chromed elements to emphasize its graphic identity. The pen fits equally well in a classic study or a modern library, introducing an authentic touch of interwar modernism to the interior.
