MontBlanc Masters Of Art Homage To Gustav Klimt Limited Edition 888 Fountain Pen, 130227

The Montblanc Masters of Art Collection honours great artists throughout history. Gustav Klimt's artist vision helped to shape Viennese Art Nouveau movement. This limited edition pen celebrates his commitment to the Vienna Secession and spotlights highlights from his Beethoven Frieze – the masterpiece he created for the Secession building.  The platinum coated cap of the pen has a 18ct yellow gold overlay and features lines and spirals to symbolise the strings of a lyre musical instrument and the gilt decoration of the Beethoven Frieze. The cap and barrel both feature bidimensional lines which are a nod to the reliefs of the Secession building. The cone of this magnificent pen is set with a deep green malachite cabochon cut stone. The inlay on the barrel is crafted from solid 18ct yellow gold and showcases Gustav Klimt's Secession monogram with the initials GK. The clip of the pen is inspired by Gustav Klimt’s Pallas Athene and represents the struggle for artistic freedom. The pen nib is handcrafted from solid 18ct yellow gold and adorned with delicately engraved graphic elements seen in many of Gustav Klimt's works. This stylish pen is limited to 888 pieces and this pen is number 459/888.
