Yard-O-Led - Mayflower Fountain Pen

Crafted entirely from solid 925 sterling silver, the Mayflower collection captures the romance and freshness of an English cottage garden, evoking its delicate colours, scents, and timeless beauty.

The intricate floral design is a refined interpretation of YARD-O-LED’s celebrated 19th-century hand-chasing technique. Both the pen and pencil present a contemporary expression of the brand’s revered craftsmanship, with English roses, buds, and flowing leaves gracefully winding around the silver barrels in a style reminiscent of a traditional English country dance.

The Mayflower rose, long cherished in English country gardens, carries deep historical significance. It once bloomed in the garden of James Watt’s country house, around which Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter was established in 1780 — the very district where the YARD-O-LED workshop now proudly resides. As the inventor of the steam engine and a leading figure of the Industrial Revolution, James Watt’s legacy remains closely tied to the heritage and craftsmanship embodied in every YARD-O-LED writing instrument.

The name “Mayflower” also honours the legendary British ship that carried the first pilgrims across the Atlantic, reflecting YARD-O-LED’s own international journey as its handcrafted creations are now admired in more than twenty territories worldwide.

Handmade in England, the Mayflower is available with a choice of fine, medium, or broad 18-carat gold nibs, delivering an exceptional writing experience tailored to every hand.
