AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000005506
PINEIDER - EDIZIONI MUSEI VATICANI: Exclusive fountain pen manufactured by the legendary Florentine house Pineider, in a special edition commissioned for the Vatican Museums (Edizioni Musei Vaticani). Pineider, founded in 1774, is worldwide renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and for having been the brand chosen by historical figures, from Napoleon to multiple popes.
The design of this piece is an ode to Italian classicism. It features an aerodynamic torpedo-shaped silhouette (cigar shape) with no flat ends, crafted in a fascinating resin that perfectly emulates the classic striped ebony of wood (Woodgrain). The aesthetics are enriched with an elegant central ring decorated with a geometric guilloche and a clip with flowing lines culminating in a black cabochon inlaid.
The pen is crowned by a magnificent solid 18-karat gold nib (750) of Medium size (M), guaranteeing an extremely smooth and luxurious writing experience.
Conservation status (Expert Review)
The fountain pen is in outstanding aesthetic and structural condition:
Resin (Woodgrain): The material maintains a mirror-like polish, highlighting the depth and contrast of the reddish and black grain. It shows no scratches, cracks, dents, or signs of heavy use.
Metal components: The clip and the ring with the guilloche pattern retain their gold plating in perfect condition, with no material loss (brassing) or oxidation.
Engravings: The inscriptions "PINEIDER" and "EDIZIONI" on the barrel are sharp and perfectly legible.
Nib: The 18K gold nib is pristine, with the tines properly aligned and the iridium point complete.
Accessories: The original case made of solid wood is included, lined with raw fabric and provided with its identification plate "EDIZIONI MUSEI VATICANI".
(Note: See close-up photographs to evaluate the excellent overall condition, the pattern of the material, and the original inclusions of the piece).
Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and packaged, ensuring its arrival in perfect condition to the winning bidder.
Good luck! Happy bidding!
