Description from the seller

We present at auction a timeless classic of contemporary Italian design signed Aurora: the dynamic and elegant Ipsilon fountain pen in its refined metal-cap variant (Metal style). This model represents the perfect synthesis between the ancient Turin craftsmanship tradition and a modern aesthetic, conceived for those who want a reliable and highly charming everyday instrument.

The pen body and the cap are made of high-quality glossy black resin, creating a magnificent visual and tactile contrast with the elegant satin-finished silver metal cap. To embellish the design, there are bright mirror-like metal accents and the unmistakable clip shaped like an "Y", the iconic stylistic element that gives the name to the entire collection ("Ipsilon"). The cap head, also in black resin, completes the lines of the instrument with perfect symmetry.

The heart of this fountain pen is the solid and reliable steel nib, enriched with the traditional engravings of Aurora, designed to offer a smooth and precise writing experience, ideal for intensive use. The filling system is the practical cartridge or converter format. Close-up photographs confirm the total cleanliness and perfect integrity of the nib block and feed.

The condition of conservation of the fountain pen is to be considered in excellent overall condition. The barrel resin is solid and bright, and the satin finish of the cap is in excellent state, with only microscopic and physiological signs of superficial wear due to normal careful handling. In line with our usual and strict policy of total transparency, it should be noted, however, that the external black cardboard display box shows evident chipping and superficial abrasions (clearly documented in the photographs provided in the gallery). This aesthetic detail concerns exclusively the external packaging and does not affect the beauty, integrity, or perfect functionality of the pen. No personalized engravings are present.

To enhance and complete this lot, the fountain pen is offered with its accessory kit, including the elegant original Aurora presentation box (with contrasting light interior) and the related instructional booklet. An excellent opportunity to enrich your desk with a tool of dynamic character and unmistakably Italian charm.
