The Pelikan Toledo

Pelikan's latest introduction, Toledo®, expresses its commitment to rarified techniques. Toledo® pays homage to the art of Damascene, the elaborate method of applying ornamentation to steel or iron by impressing a thin gold film onto the surface, initially brought to Spain by Arab settlers and perfected over centuries, especially in Toledo.
 
Pelikan has honoured this patterning technique since 1931 with the inaugural T111, now a prized work of art. Today, these masterpieces are hand-crafted with solid sterling silver bodies, and the artwork is nearly unchanged ninety-three years later. Each piece is hand-gilded and etched, producing a one-of-one finish only available in minimal quantities.
