The meaning of "Godron"

[Chrissy]

I've heard of Godron in connection with a design on a pen (or indeed other objects) but have never really known exactly what it is.
However, this made me chuckle this morning when I found someone who has probably not heard of it or has gone along with his spell check correction of the word:

Waterman Gentleman Fountain Pen 18k gold nib - Gordon Gold plated - Mint boxed

Voila, as they say by the Seine.

Love it. I wonder how well it goes with tonic?

Not half as well as Sipsmith's or Hendrick's

In all fairness, Siri may have some culpability in this. Don't ask her about Benefit Cost Analysis during a meeting.

[Ole Juul]

That's a great word. We've all seen the design on antiques but probably didn't know a word for it. The word in English is gadrooning.

I thought it was a portmanteau of gadabout and poltroon

Only if you didn't add the tonic...

Or a spoonerism of dragoon.
