 MONTEGRAPPA  

LIMITED EDITION 

CLASSICAL GREECE SILVER

 FOUNTAIN PEN

 

 

Montegrappa, the oldest Italian pen manufacturer, has decided to dedicate one of its precious limited editions to the extraordinary articulated complex of values, intellectual works and perfectly balanced harmonies represented by the culture of classical Greece, which still exercises such a profound influence on the contemporary world. Called Classical Greece, this is a pen of very original appearance whose design and sophisticated decoration recall some of the most significant symbols of Greek culture and its inexhaustible power to disseminate itself.

 

 

Overall, with its slender, tapered shape, the pen recalls the outline of a flaming torch, the universal symbol of the beacon of learning and its intrinsic mobility, with its ability to be passed from hand to hand to carry its illumination from one civilization to another. So far as the cap in concerned, with its fluted lines it reflects the strong form, also tapered, of the column of a temple, symbolic of Greek art and its search for perfection, harmonious proportions and the reflection of the divine. The end part of the barrel is decorated with a jewel within a jewel: a miniature image of an ancient map of the Peloponnese created by hand by the application of precious enamels, an exclusive, sophisticated technique which makes every piece of the Limited Edition truly unique. In the fountain pen version, rotating this ornamented part of the pen causes it to be filled with ink (piston filling system), almost as if to suggest that the action of writing, the symbol par excellence of western culture, still takes place under the sphere of influence of classical Greece.

 

 

The barrel of the pen is made of precious turquoise blue celluloid, the colour being symbolic of Greece. Depending on the version, the precious metal cap is made of sterling silver. The bi-coloured nib, with ebonite feeder, is of 18K yellow gold. Decorated with an engraving of the flame of the Olympic torch.

 

 

To complete this unmistakably Montegrappa creation with a touch of elegance, the pen is presented in a blue-lacquered wooden presentation case, inside which is a special support for the pen made of Murano glass, a precious material appreciated throughout the world for its purity and brilliance, and for the prestigious tradition preserved through the centuries by the master crafstmen of Venetian glass.
