Description from the seller
A0000005428
MONTBLANC WRITERS EDITION "VOLTAIRE" (1995): We present at auction one of the most elegant and coveted pieces from the prestigious Montblanc Writers Edition collection. Released in 1995, this fountain pen pays homage to the brilliant French philosopher, essayist, and writer François-Marie Arouet, universally known as Voltaire.
The pen’s design mirrors Voltaire’s fascinating personality and the classic elegance of 18th-century Europe. The body and cap are crafted in Montblanc’s iconic black precious resin. However, the absolute centerpiece is the finial of the cap, made in Vermeil (925 sterling silver heavily gilded with gold), adorned with rich and elaborate engravings inspired by classical motifs.
On the side of the cap, in gold-tone, the author’s unmistakable signature is engraved. The piece is finished with a superb solid 18-karat gold nib (750), handcrafted, bearing the edition year (1995) and delicate motifs from the Enlightenment era.

Box: The lot comes with its iconic original presentation box, book-shaped, with a black satin-lined interior, adding immense value for the collector.
(Please bidders, view the photo gallery in detail, as it forms an essential part of the description of this High Collection piece).
Shipping
The lot will be shipped with maximum care, double-wrapped and securely packed, with shipment insured for the full auction value and an international tracking number.
