Bottom Shelf: This pen has been gently used, but is otherwise in great shape. While every effort to clean these pens is made, you might see residual ink or water, as they are not brand new. All Bottom Shelf sales are final.

La Flamme, an homage to the essence of the flame, is adorned with fiery hues that capture the imagination with its vibrant warmth. The gradient transitions from a bright yellow at the top of the cap, to warm orange, to bright red, tapering at the end of the pen to a deep burgundy red.

Each writing instrument is crafted entirely at the S.T. Dupont factory in Faverges, France and is made utilizing ancient Japanese and Chinese lacquer techniques. Each pen passes through a two-stage production process. First, up to 9 Layers of sumptuous natural lacquer are hand painted to the brass barrel of each pen, the result is a pearl like shimmer and a luxurious finish that is resistant to shocks, scratches and even fire. Once this base lacquer is polished and prepared, the second stage involves spraying an additional pearlescent lacquer in small spurts to give the pens unique ‘gradient’ effect.

This iconic oversized S.T. Dupont pen features the bold Dupont blazon on the articulated clip, an enhanced Dupont 'D' in the crown of the cap and a perfectly balanced shape for exceptional writing. The pen cap closes with Dupont's iconic 'cling' and features a fluted grip section for a superb writing experience. The cap comfortably posts on the back of the pen with a delicate ‘snap’. Each pen is presented in an S.T. Dupont gift box.

The fountain pen features S.T. Dupont’s 14kt gold nib in EF, F, M, and B nib widths and fills with the included cartridge or bottled ink using a converter.

Company Background:

S.T. Dupont is a leading brand of luxury products designed and made in France. Founded in Paris in 1847 by its namesake Simon Tissot Dupont, today S.T. Dupont is world famous for their exceptional writing instruments. S.T. Dupont has been a supplier to Royals, Aristocracy and celebrities including: Coco Chanel, Leonardo DiCaprio, the British royal family, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe.

In the 1930s, S.T. Dupont perfected the bonding of the nigh indestructible Urushi lacquer onto metal, offering a strong luxurious finish to their writing instruments.

Dupont brand through the present day.

S.T. Dupont products are still made at the original workshop located in Faverges near the French Alps. Their writing instruments are world renowned for precise engineering and intricate goldsmith manufacture.
