Description from the seller
We present at auction a refined writing instrument that celebrates the great Italian manufacturing tradition: an elegant Aurora Roller Pen, famous TU model, rendered in a special and distinctive 'MIA' edition. This exemplar combines the renowned artisanal excellence of the historic Turin-based company with an aesthetic that is decidedly contemporary and metropolitan, establishing itself as an ideal accessory for those seeking class, reliability, and smooth writing flow in everyday life.
The pen body and cap are expertly crafted from a precious resin characterized by a sophisticated blue satin finish. This particular texture not only gives the object a modern and appealing look, but also offers a velvety tactile feel and a very secure grip. Creating a magnificent and luminous contrast with the satin surfaces are the bright mirrored chrome metal details, such as the chunky central ring and the solid clip. The grip, shaped in glossy black resin, subtly offsets the chromatic balance and guarantees perfect ergonomics and fatigue-free use during long writing sessions.
The feature that makes this lot unique and gives it an entirely exclusive identity is the specific customization placed on the summit. On the flat top of the cap, there is indeed a circular insert with the logo 'MIA' printed in contrast, a distinctive detail that underscores its nature as a special edition or commission-made piece. Complementing this element is the robust metal clip, with a broad, slightly curved profile typical of the unmistakable TU line, which harmoniously integrates with the clean lines of the entire instrument.
Technically speaking, the piece is configured as a Roller pen, equipped with a practical cap-derivation mechanism, designed to house the brand’s famous and fluid liquid ink refills. The exploded view of the piece in its main components confirms the complete integrity of the internal structure and the precision of the assembly, an undisputed synonym of the high manufacturing quality typical of Aurora. On the wide metal band at the base of the cap, the inscription 'Aurora Italy' is regularly and clearly engraved, an unequivocal seal of authenticity.
The pen’s condition is to be considered excellent, nearly as good as new. The instrument has been preserved with extreme care and shows no scratches or obvious signs of wear; the blue finish and the shiny chrome parts fully retain their factory-original beauty. To add further collectible value and complete the offer, the lot is presented in its elegant original rigid presentation case, enriched by the special inner presentation card that certifies that the pen was 'made at the Manifattura Aurora'.
