Visconti Van Gogh 'Pollard Willows' ballpoint pen, made of multicolour acrylic resin, Italy, length 13.4 cm, diameter 1.1 cm, in excellent used condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful preservation consistent with a collectible piece from the prestigious Italian firm Visconti. The body, made of multicolor acrylic resin characteristic of the Van Gogh collection, maintains an attractive and deep shine, clearly appreciating the beautiful marble-like pattern of greens, ochres, reddish tones and amber that evoke the painting that inspires this edition. The surface is well preserved, with light micro-signs of handling typical of occasional use, without cracks, breaks or deformations.
The metal elements have a clean and elegant finish. The clip engraved with the VISCONTI inscription remains firmly attached and well aligned, showing proper polishing and only discreet signs of handling under close observation. The central ring decorated with the brand name maintains sharp definition in its engravings, contributing to the refined character of the piece.
The pen’s twist mechanism operates smoothly and precisely, extending and retracting the nib correctly, which demonstrates proper functioning of the writing system. The piece has been checked to ensure proper operation and is delivered ready for use.
Overall, this is a pen that preserves a very attractive aesthetic presence, with a level of conservation that makes it perfectly suitable for both elegant daily use and as part of a collection dedicated to the Visconti house or to the Van Gogh series.
Conservation recommendations
To preserve the good condition of the piece it is recommended to use quality ink cartridges compatible with the pen’s system, avoid bumps or drops that could damage the resin or metal elements, and keep it in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping the mechanism clean and operating the twist system gently will help prolong the instrument’s life.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
