AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Cartier Cougar Must de Cartier fountain pen presented in this lot is in excellent overall preservation, displaying a very well cared-for appearance fully in line with a piece of its category and era.
The body and cap in black resin with a godron pattern are preserved with very good gloss and definition in the vertical grooves, with no material loss or deformations. The surface shows only very slight signs of surface use, virtually imperceptible to the naked eye and typical of careful handling over time. The overall aesthetic remains elegant and very attractive.
The gold-plated elements — clip, rings and endpieces — have a bright, uniform finish with excellent visual presence. No significant wear is observed on the plating, and the pieces maintain their structural and aesthetic integrity.
The 18-karat solid gold nib (750), engraved with the Cartier emblem, is in very good condition, correctly aligned and preserving a clean tip. The feed maintains its fins in perfect structural condition, ensuring proper ink flow regulation.
The writing system has been inspected and tested for proper operation, delivering the piece fully operational and ready to write, as is customary for pieces prepared by Collecting Legacy.
Also included is its original Cartier red box, which shows a good general condition with slight storage-related signs.
Overall, it is a very well-preserved fountain pen, elegant and perfectly functional, ideal for everyday use as well as for collection.
Conservation recommendations
To keep the pen in optimal condition, use high-quality fountain-pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks or inks with particulates. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to rinse it with warm water, dry it properly before storing, and keep it in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Also, always operate the filling mechanism gently to maintain the mechanics in perfect condition over time.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
