DER PEN OF THE YEAR 2006

 

THE APPEAL OF THE EXECEPTIONAL 

Just as certain people have a natural affinity to certain others, some materials just "go together" . Ivory is frequently combined with ebony, known even in antiquity as one of the most beautiful and most expensive of woods.The heartwood, very dark brown to black, shows off the creamy white of the iviry almost perfectly. This composition takes ideal shape in the "Pen of the Year 2006".

 

FASCINATING FINDS

 

Exclusive materials of highest quality are chosen for the "pen of the Year 2006": materials that are a challenge to obtain. For the best mammoth ivory one must undergo adbenturous expedititions to the coast of the Artic Ocean in Sibiria. Frozen in pure ice, the ivory there has retained its immaculate  beauty. It comes to light only cluring the brief Siberian summer.For export the ivory reqires a license that cannot be granted until a scientific assessment has been carried out.

  THE ART OF THE IVORY CARVER

Mammoth ivory is no odinary ivory. It is heavier and a connoisseur will immediately recognize it from the unique veining. The material has absorbed moisture during the millennia it was buried in the ice, and needs to be slowly and carefully dried out over a period of three to five years. Only then can one cautiously cut, grind, turn, and polish it.

      

This takes special skills, and hardly anyone is better suited to ask than Jürgen Schott. As grand master of the guild of ivory carvers in the Odenwald region near Heidelberg, he is familiar with the rich tradition that has produced many outstanding works of art over the past 200 years.
