Perfecta Victorian Pencil

Yard-O-Led

£595

Handcrafted in solid 925 sterling silver, the elegant, slender lines and gently flared top of The Perfecta combine to produce a slim and delicate pencil with a lightweight and graceful silhouette. A very popular look, evocative of early 19th century style. Key fact - every Victorian-patterned writing instrument has been achieved by up to 3,000 hand-chasing taps that will naturally vary according to each Silversmith. This creates a unique product whereby the pattern will slightly vary from one pen to another. Read about the history of the propelling pencil Technical Specification Length 130mm W

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as IMPERIAL YARD LIMITED, number 09433000. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Today in our Birmingham workshop, a small number of dedicated craftsmen assemble and decorate every one of Yard O Led's exquisite writing instruments by hand." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
