AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000001495
The piece is presented in an outstanding state of preservation, notable for both its structural integrity and its strong aesthetic presence, typical of a high-end limited edition.
The body and cap, crafted in solid sterling silver with sculpted high-relief work, are in excellent condition, perfectly preserving the definition of the scales and the serpent motif. The reliefs retain all their sharpness and volume, with no worn areas or loss of detail, which is especially relevant in this model where the quality of engraving is decisive. A very light, uniform patina characteristic of silver is apparent, enhancing the contrast and giving character without affecting its aesthetics or value at all.
The metal components show a clean finish, with minimal signs of handling, no dents, deformations, or significant wear. The contrasts and hallmarks are crisp and perfectly legible, confirming the authenticity and quality of the materials.
The ornamental details, including the serpent’s eyes, are preserved in excellent condition, firmly fixed and with a bright, vivid shine, adding depth and exclusivity to the overall set.
The 18-karat gold nib is in impeccable condition, with no deformations or alterations, correctly aligned and with a clean surface. The nib has been inspected and is delivered fully operational, ensuring smooth, precise, and reliable writing performance.
The section and feeding system show very moderate use, with no build-up or signs of internal wear, indicating proper maintenance over time.
The set comes with its original case, in very good condition, with light external marks typical of storage, maintaining its functionality and presentation intact.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece with exceptional presence, ideal for both collection and occasional use.
Preservation recommendations
To keep this piece in optimal condition, it is recommended to use quality ink for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and always handle the mechanism gently.
Happy bidding!
