on saleMontegrappa Celluloid Masters Arte Fountain Pen - Zebra (Limited Edition)
MSRP $3,000.00
The limited edition Montegrappa Celluloid Masters fountain pen collection expands upon the current celluloid offerings with a vibrant new array of distinctive colorways and patterns.
Celluloid has long been a favorite material for penmakers and it is no surprise, with Montegrappa’s 100-year history, that they would look towards the brand’s history and bring this material into the modern era. Recognized as a quality pen material for its weight, feel, and vibrant colors, celluloid remains the perfect accompaniment for the classic Arte silhouette.
This black and white striped "Zebra" celluloid barrel, grip, and cap on this fountain pen are complemented by sterling silver trim. The sterling silver vintage-style clip features a roller for ease of placing the pen in a shirt pocket, and the top cap finial is shaped as a faceted diamond point dome. Each pen highlights the complex artisanal work that has gone into Montegrappa’s penmaking for more than a century. Fitted with a rhodium-plated JoWo #8 18k gold nib and an extra-large ink reservoir, every inch of this pen’s real estate is designed for a luxury feel and writing experience.
What’s more, the Celluloid Masters collection is a limited quantity and individually numbered from 00 to 30. This example in fine is number 13/30.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
