AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

S.T. Dupont - 'Classique' Fountain Pen - Chinese Lacquer (Lacca Cinese) - 18k Gold Nib - With Box

Description: Up for auction is a splendid and elegant fountain pen from the prestigious French luxury house S.T. Dupont. It is the 'Classique' model, an icon of style from the 1980s/'90s, characterized by its slender and refined cylindrical shape.

The main feature of this piece is the material: the body is made of authentic Laque de Chine (Chinese Lacquer), a highly prized natural organic resin that is difficult to work with and incredibly resistant to heat and acids. The authenticity of the lacquer is certified by the leaf symbol engraved on the gilded veretta (visible in the photo), which distinguishes genuine lacquer pieces from those in synthetic varnish.

Technical Details

Brand: S.T. Dupont Paris.

Model: Classic (Vintage).

Material: Authentic Chinese Lacquer (Laque de Chine) in amber/coral color with gold-plated finishes.

Pennino: solid 18-karat gold (750), size M (Medium).

Complete with original blue S.T. Dupont box.

Distinctive signs: The serial number, which is unique, is engraved on the clip as a guarantee of authenticity. On the central barrette, the inscriptions 'S.T. Dupont Paris', 'Laque de Chine', and the leaf symbol are present.

Conditions: The pen is presented in good overall condition. The Chinese lacquer is intact and retains its warm, organic shine typical of natural material. Slight signs of age and use are present on the metal parts and the grip section (as visible in the photo), which is normal for a vintage object of this age.

A timeless collectible piece, perfect for lovers of writing and French luxury.
