This exquisite fountain pen is a Montblanc masterpiece that celebrates the legacy of the Marquise de Pompadour - an enchanting mistress of King Louis XIV. Known for her charisma and dedication to the king, she was a prominent figure at the Court of Versailles. The "rococo muse" was also a generous supporter of talented artists and musicians, including Voltaire and Mozart. The limited edition Patron of Art Marquise de Pompadour pays tribute to her remarkable contributions to history and the arts. As Louis XV's mistress, she was an avid patron of architecture and Meissen porcelain, making her an inspiring figure to be celebrated. This Montblanc is a limited edition and the number of this particular pen is "2533 of 4810".
This exquisite fountain pen features a renowned white Meissen porcelain cap, embellished with a sepia-toned rose - the beloved flower of the Marquise, and the iconic Meissen porcelain blue swords hallmark. The pen's barrel is elegantly plated with gold, complemented by matching trim and an 18K gold nib. Both the cap and barrel are flawlessly preserved, free from any cracks, chips, or porcelain damage. The cap securely fastens onto the barrel, ensuring optimal functionality. When capped, the fountain pen measures 5 3/8", and when posted, it extends to 6 1/2". The weight of the pen is a "hefty" 2.45 ounces - great weight in the hand.
This fountain pen features an 18K medium nib displaying a fine engraving, reminiscent of the Rococo style. The nib is labeled "2001 4810, 18K/750, Montblanc" and is considered a medium point, measuring .86mm with digital calipers.
