AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000005946

Extraordinary and exclusive sketch pencil (Sketch Pen) from the historic Italian manufacturer Aurora, belonging to its famed and sought-after Mare collection. This line was conceived as a homage to the beauty of the Italian seas, highlighting vibrant materials of the very highest quality. It is a numbered edition; this piece bears engraving No. 514 on its central ring.

The body, with a thick ergonomic profile (1.6 cm in diameter), is made from the characteristic "Auroloide" patented by Aurora, a cellulose resin that in this model presents a spectacular marbled pattern in various shades of deep blue. This vibrant finish contrasts wonderfully with the solid push button, the nib, and the central ring, all generously plated in gold. The central ring bears finely engraved the name "Aurora" on one side and its serial number on the opposite.

The pencil features a clutch release mechanism operated by the upper push button, ideal for releasing and adjusting the length of the thick drawing leads with total precision, offering an unparalleled sketching experience.

Technical details of the piece:

Type of item: Sketch pencil / thick mechanical pencil.

Model/Collection: Aurora Mare (Numbered Edition).

Materials: Marble-blue Auroloide and gold-plated accents.

Filling system: Special drawing leads.

Measurements: 11 cm long x 1.6 cm diameter.

Any damage: In excellent condition for a collector. The Auroloide maintains its shine and depth of color without cracks or scratches. The gold metals are pristine, showing only barely visible signs of handling.

Case/Accessories: A luxury "Full Set" very hard to find complete. Includes:

- Heavy desktop base (inkstand/support) gold-plated to display the pencil.
- Elegant original protective sleeve in fine black calf leather.
- Original case with replacement colored leads for the Aurora sketch pen ("Aurora sketch pen coloured lead refills").
- Outer boxes and Mare collection brochure.

Please consult the images to form a proper impression.
