Antique Hand-Carved Dip Pen Wand from New Zealand
Antique—Antique dip pen converted into a wand with a faceted, polished clear quartz crystal. Dip pen is a wooden, hand-carved Swiss Black Forrest edelweiss-style with Maori design influences, roughly 7.875" long. Delicate and beautiful design and execution. Part of a lot sold by a New Zealand family that believes the items once belonged to or were associated with Ernest Eugster, Executive Commissioner for Switzerland at the Sydney and Melbourne International Exhibitions in 1880, Commissioner of the Swiss Court at the Adelaide Exhibition in 1882, and co-founder of the Swiss Special Settlement near Pukekohe, New Zealand. The workmanship is gorgeous and graceful, and the sellers believe this dip pen was never used—it came with no nibs and has no ink stains. Original seller's information available upon request. Exact date of manufacture unknown, estimating the late 1800s. Excellent condition.
NOTE: The antique pen was not destroyed during conversion. This wand was assembled using hot glue and 4mm black silk ribbon so it could be returned to original condition if desired.
