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 sought-after metal cap variant (Metal style). This model represents the perfect synthesis between the ancient Turin craftsmanship tradition and a modern aesthetic, designed for those who want a reliable, daily instrument with great charm.

The pen body and the cap are made of premium glossy black resin, creating a magnificent visual and tactile contrast with the elegant metal cap with a silver satin finish. To embellish the design, there are bright mirror-like metal accents and the unmistakable clip in the shape of a “Y,” the iconic stylistic element that gives the whole collection its name (“Ipsilon”). The cap head, also in black resin, completes the instrument’s lines with perfect symmetry.

The heart of this fountain pen is the solid and reliable steel nib, enriched with the traditional Aurora manufacturing engravings, 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 complete cleanliness and perfect integrity of the nib assembly and the feed.

The pen’s condition is to be considered generally excellent. The barrel resin is solid and shiny, and the satin finish of the cap is in excellent condition, with only microscopic, physiological superficial signs due to normal careful handling. In line with our usual and rigorous policy of total transparency, please note, however, that the outer black carton case shows evident chipping and superficial abrasions (clearly documented in the gallery photographs provided). This aesthetic detail concerns only 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 accompanying accessories, including the elegant original Aurora presentation box (with light contrasting interiors) and the relevant instruction booklet. An excellent opportunity to enrich your desk with a dynamic character and authentically Italian charm.
