2008 Pen Details
Paying tribute to the King of France (1515), as one of the greatest Patron of Arts. He supported young artists like ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ and build the royal art collection - the basis of the today’s Louvre exhibition
King Francis I left his mark on France’s national culture as a royal Patron of the arts. The design of the Limited Edition Francis I fountain pen pays tribute to the life and work of the French Renaissance King. Splendid insignia of royal power blend harmoniously with artistic expression. The Edition 4810 pen features a tiger-eye gemstone, a reference to a charm worn by Francis I, contrasting with the black precious resin of the cap and barrel. Ornamental Renaissance patterns are masterfully engraved on the elaborately modelled clip and gold-plated rings, giving the pen its royal aura.
The specially designed 18 K gold nib bears the engraved symbol of the French Royal house: the French lily. The ivory-coloured Montblanc emblem on the top of the cap completes the regal appearance of this unique writing instrument.
