Nouveau Spectre

This hand-turned David Broadwell-designed Art Nouveau Sceptre style 24kt gold and chrome twist ballpoint is made with a handcrafted pen blank that features various colours of acrylic swirled together for a bold and vibrant result. Each unique blank is made by artisan Eugenio Soto of San Antonio, Texas. David is an accomplished custom art knife and pen maker with twenty-five years of experience shaping and sculpting a variety of metals, fine woods, ivories, and stone.

His pens have been featured in Stylophiles online magazine, Pen World International, Stylus Magazine, and he was showcased in the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) 3M Innovative Tools 2002 Exhibition. David's expertise and meticulous attention to detail bring his Nouveau Sceptre Pen design to life with custom-cast 3-dimensional Art Nouveau designs and premium platings. David says of this design, "I have always loved Art Nouveau with its intensely organic lines and have incorporated it into my work for many years. One of my more popular and personal favourite pen designs is my Sceptre. When asked to design the components, my first thought was to use elements from my Sceptres - the wide cap top and the rounded barrel - with some new freeform Nouveau elements for the trim. I find it interesting and relaxing to watch trees being blown by a gentle breeze, and I wanted the ribbon on the cap band to look as if it were being blown about by the wind." 

The Art Nouveau styling, elegant shape, exceptional balance and comfort appeal to both men and women and are a great gift for any occasion. Top-quality components throughout assure dependability and performance. This is an heirloom-quality usable work of art.
