AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004792

The fountain pen is presented in very good overall condition, displaying an elegant and refined aesthetic typical of Aurora pieces made in solid gold. The body and cap in 333‰ gold retain a warm, even shine, enhanced by the characteristic vertical brushed pattern that gives it a particularly sophisticated presence.

Visually, the piece maintains an excellent appearance, with only very light superficial signs of use and handling compatible with the passage of time and careful use. No major impacts, cracks, or structural deformations are observed. The engravings, contrasts, and serial numbering remain well defined and perfectly legible.

The clip maintains good tension and alignment, while the gold finishes show a clean and uniform finish. The original Aurora nib in solid 14K / 585 gold is in very good condition, correctly aligned and with excellent aesthetic presence.

The pen has been serviced and is delivered operable and ready to write, maintaining proper functioning of its filling system.

Includes its original Aurora box, a feature particularly valued by collectors and enthusiasts, although this shows exterior wear and storage marks appropriate to its age.

Overall, this is a high-end Italian fountain pen, very attractive for both collection and everyday distinguished use, standing out for its solid gold construction and its jewel-inspired elegant design.

Care recommendations

It is advisable to use high-quality fountain pen inks and avoid pigmented inks. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to clean it with warm water and dry it completely before storing. It should be kept in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The filling system should be operated gently at all times to preserve its correct function.
