Jonathan Swift created over 30 works in his lifetime, but it was “Gulliver’s Travels”, published in 1726, that remains the masterpiece he will always be remembered for. The epic work describes English ship surgeon Lemuel Gulliver’s voyages to exotic and distant lands, where he encounters dwarfs, giants, quirky scientists, and intelligent horses. The often naïve protagonist of this story discovers the prolific abuse of power and corruption in each of the lands he visits, as well as the struggles between individual and society.

The writing instrument features a barrel made of black lacquer and is decorated with multi-layered inlays reminiscent of the ropes that were used to bind Gulliver at the beach of Lilliput island. The cap is made of precious black resin, and shaped like Gulliverʼs tricorn – a typical tradesman three-cornered hat popular in the 18th century, and bears the signature of Jonathan Swift. A platinum-plated clip depicts the staircase the mayor of Lilliput had to climb to be able to talk to Gulliver, and the instrumentʼs delicately designed rhodium-plated 18K gold nib is decorated with an elaborate engraving showing the imperial army of Lilliput marching between Gulliverʼs legs.
