If you are new to the Perchin story, allow me a moment for this abbreviated version: The first Fabergé Easter Egg was made in 1885 by Michel Perchin , (Mikhail Perikhin ). In 1886, at the age of 26, this skilled craftsman, a self-taught goldsmith from a peasant background in the town of Pctorvskiy Zavod , became chief foreman of the Fabergé firm. Until his death in 1903, his initials were put on all surprise eggs of the firm made for Emperors Alexander III and Nicholas II. The first egg made by Perchin , ( Perikhin ), con�sisted of an ivory shell with stripes of dark blue enamel; in the shell there was a golden-with-enamel hen with ruby eyes. Inside the hen, there was a golden crown inlaid with pearl. And inside the crown there was a golden ring. It was precisely in 1885 that the tradition of annually giving Fabergé Easter eggs was born. Subsequently, Michel Perchin , Inc., borrowed from the designs of the original Faberge Eggs to create a unique line of extremely limited edition writing instruments.

That exquisite creation was presented to Empress Maria Fedorovna in 1887, by her husband Tsar Alexander III . The Fabergé Blue Serpent Clock Egg, crafted by Michel Perchin , influenced the design of a second Serpent Clock Egg in Pink Enamel that was commissioned by Consuelo Vanderbilt around 1902. Only the second American at the time, behind Henry C. Walters of Baltimore, to acquire a Fabergé work of art, Consuelo had wed Charles Richard John Spencer-Churchill, the ninth Duke of Marlborough, herself becoming Duchess of Marlborough in the process and gaining influence enough to have such a commission produced. MORE ABOUT THE PEN: The barrel and all metal parts of this marvelous piece of art are sculpted from (.925) sterling silver giving it definitive weight and balance. The guilloche (engraving) pattern beneath the hand applied enamel is duplicative of the ‘wave’ pattern found on the Michel Perchin Serpent Pens of several years ago. The pen clip on the MP5 brings back a re-interpreted clip design that features a serpent’s (snake’s) head. The cap on the MP5 is handcrafted acrylic, exp... read more
