Description: Fountain pen, sterling silver, circulation 1305 pcs. In 2003 St. Petersburg celebrated its 300th anniversary. Montegrappa, as one of the world's leading manufacturers of precious writing instruments and true to its long tradition, could not but respond to such a significant event. It was decided to release a limited edition of pens, dedicated to the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg, with elegance and beauty corresponding to the beautiful northern capital, made of precious materials using fine jewelry production technology. The body of the Montegrappa "White Nights" is decorated with a low-relief engraving pattern reminiscent of the latticework of the Summer Garden. Anna Akhmatova, stingy with praise, said about her: "I want roses in that only garden where the best in the world stands from fences." On the cap, in a single ensemble with a picture of the body, against the background of the lattices of the Summer and Mikhailovsky gardens, the coat of arms of the city is depicted. The clip is made using press-casting technology in the form of a scepter and, depending on the model, is made of sterling silver or 18K gold. How captivating with rigor, relief and delicacy is a creation of human hands. And it seems that the lattice is made of scarlet silver, minted by the hand of a goldsmith and, being transferred by the masters of Montegrappa to the body of the pen, transfers its severity, relief and delicacy to the writing instrument, forcing us to look at the seemingly utilitarian object as a work of art. The fact that Montegrappa has used all its exclusive technologies in its production: deep drawing, low-relief engraving, enameling and injection molding, gives great value to this edition. In addition to these technologies, in the manufacture of masterpieces of the White Nights edition, specific jewelry technologies were used, which, coupled with manual assembly and final processing, greatly complicated the production process, as a result of which it takes a very significant period of time to produce one piece - about 6 months. The two-color nib of the edition is made of 18K gold and matches the pattern on the case and bears an engraved image of the symbol of the Russian State - the double-headed eagle. All edition pens are equipped with a unique piston ink filling system and a handmade ebonite feeder, ensuring smooth ink flow and guaranteeing smooth writing. Each pen of the edition comes in an amazing box made of snow-white acrylic resin. The inner cavity is trimmed with symbolic red velvet. The lid of the casket is decorated with the coat of arms of Northern Venice. The circulation of Montegrappa "White Nights" pens strictly corresponds to the main symbols and dates of St. Petersburg: the total circulation of the edition of 1703 pieces corresponds to the date of the founding of the city. Good condition. See photo for details. There will be questions - ask, I will answer. Any import taxes, customs duties and charges are buyers responsibility.
