This is a previously unpublished photo from 2009. This is a Lambrou Pens Grapevine prototype, a high relief sterling silver art pen created in 2009, by the Argentinean artist Juan Carlos Pallarols. The base is a plain silver CP8 fountain pen, a full size cartridge/converter Legend 766L at 5.75 inches long. Mr. Pallarols creates thick silver tubes for the cap and barrel. He utilizes the CP8 cap top, section and nib unit, cap band and barrel end, with his creation. Through a small hammer and chisel he hand creates a very high relief unique art pen. This art using a hammer, chisel and precious metals, in particular silver, has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 250 years. The clip is hand crafted sterling silver by Paul Rossi. The unique Art Pen comes with a G-250, 18-karat gold two tone rhodium plated nib unit, by Peter Bock of Germany. #pencollecting #fountainpen #lambroupens #classicpens #sterlingsilver #pallarois #artpen #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwcSypPtwa/?utm_medium=tumblr

The nib is rhodium plated to compliment the sterling clip and trim. This Grapevine design, exclusive to Lambrou Pens Inc., can compete successfully, with high relief, handmade Parker and Waterman pens of the 1910s.  The advantage of the Grapevine is being a modern fountain pen, parts like nibs are easily replaced if lost or damaged.

Prototype of the Classic Pens LP1 Grapevine Limited Edition 2009.  Andy Lambrou met Juan Carlos Pallarols, master silversmith from Buenos Aires, Argentina, at one of the Washington, DC pen shows and fell in love with his work.  This pen is the result of their first collaboration.  Each Grapevine design is worked by hand over 40 hours so that each LP1 art pen is unique and a little different from the rest. The pen is very large and heavy, at 5 3/4 inches long capped.  The edition was 25 pens at $9,000 each.  This prototype was worked from a plain silver CP8.
