AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000004876
The fountain pen is presented in very good overall condition, displaying an extremely elegant and refined aesthetic in line with one of the most exclusive editions of Montblanc's Patron of Art collection. The white Meissen porcelain retains an excellent surface sheen, with a uniform tone and no visible cracks, preserving the sophisticated visual presence characteristic of this reference.
The hand-painted decorations and gilded ornamental details are well preserved, retaining much of their original intensity and definition. The artistic portrait of the Marquise de Pompadour remains sharp and attractive, contributing significant artistic and collectible value to the piece.
The gold-plated elements, including the clip, rings, and endings, present a bright and clean appearance, with very slight signs of use and handling typical of a piece carefully preserved over time. The solid 18-karat gold nib maintains an excellent aesthetic presence, with engravings clearly visible and proper feed.
It should be noted the presence of a small blue mark visible in one of the body/cap areas, appreciable in the close-up photographs. Likewise, minimal signs of microuses are observable, compatible with storage and normal handling for a collectible fountain pen of this category.
The pen has been inspected and tested before sale, delivering in proper working condition.
As this is a limited edition of only 888 pieces worldwide, this piece represents a particularly interesting opportunity for Montblanc collectors as well as lovers of high-end artistic fountain pens.
Conservation recommendations
It is recommended to use exclusively quality fountain pen inks and avoid pigmented inks. If the piece will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to flush the system with warm water and dry it completely before storage. It should be kept in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is advisable to operate the filling system and the cap gently to preserve the mechanisms and original finishes.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!
