Sheaffer is delighted to present the second edition of its Sheaffer Legacy® Heritage Victorian Series, a beautifully etched Sterling Silver fountain pen to honor one of the most prolific artisans of the period – William Morris.

The Victorian Era covered the 64-year reign of Queen Victoria from 1837-1901, and many social, political and religious movements flourished during this period. William Morris founded one such movement - the English Arts and Crafts Movement.

In 1861, Morris set up his own company, producing an impressive range of decorative items for home, including furniture, rugs and textiles, ceramics and stained glass. One of Morris's chief contributions was as a designer of repeating patterns for wallpaper and textiles, many of which were based on a close observation of nature and flora.

The exquisite and intricately engraved pattern of this edition of the Sheaffer Legacy® Heritage Victorian Series has been chosen to celebrate Morris's mastership of decorative arts and his contributions to the Victorian aesthetic.
