The Conway Stewart brand, synonymous with British heritage, has been privileged to have its products chosen as official gifts of the British government. Owners of Conway Stewart pens include the British royal family, prime ministers, US and Heads of State from around the world. It is only fitting to pay homage to one of the most important events of the British history, The Great Exhibition of 1851.

The Great Exhibition, also known as the Crystal Palace Exhibition, was held in Hyde Park London, during May 1 to October 15, 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fair exhibitions of culture and industry that were to be a popular 19th century feature.

Crafted by hand, the Great Exhibition pen measures a rather large 8 inches when closed. In keeping with the grand nature of the Great Exhibition itself, we've designed the Great Exhibition Pen to be an impressive addition to our line.

Sized to immediately grab attention, the impressive nature of the Great Exhibition doesn't stop there. The overlay is crafted by hand by renowned English craftsman, Henry Simpole. This design is timeless and is reminiscent of the classic British overlay pens crafted in the early 1900s.

Each pen carries the English Assay hallmark authenticating the precious metal overlay. The pen is mounted with a solid 18 carat nib, delivering a smooth wet line.

In keeping within this historic theme, Conway Stewart chose to utilized a filling mechanism typically used in the late 1800s, the Eye Dropper. Using modern materials and taking full benefit of the size of this great pen, the ink capacity is equivalent to 8 x ink cartridges!

The Great Exhibition pen will no doubt become a prized possession for any discerning pen enthusiast, investor and aficionado of true British craftsmanship at its best.
