Visconti Van Gogh fountain pen with a resin body and palladium-plated metal accents, made in Italy, 14.5 cm long and 1.3 cm in diameter, in good used condition and fully operational with a steel nib.
Description from the seller
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful maintenance and consistent with moderate use.
The black resin body maintains excellent shine and depth, with tiny surface micromarks typical of use, visible only under direct light and in no way affecting its overall aesthetics. No cracks, chips, or deformations are observed.
The palladium-finish metal elements, such as the clip and the central ring engraved “Van Gogh,” are in very good condition, preserving their definition and legibility. Very fine signs of use or micro-scratches can be seen, coherent with the passage of time, but without material loss or significant wear.
The steel nib is in excellent condition, clean, well-aligned, and ready for use. The pen has been serviced and tested, guaranteeing proper operation of the filling system and smooth writing.
The screw-fix system operates smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm closure.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for both use and collection.
Care recommendations
We recommend using high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks, cleaning with lukewarm water if not used for a while, drying completely before storage, keeping in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and always operating the mechanism gently to preserve its function.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Good luck with the auction!
