MONTBLANC Patron of Art Ludovico Sforza
Duke of Milan
Fountain Pen
Limited Edition: ***/888
Year 2013
The Limited Edition 888 Ludovico Sforza, made of translucent blue lacquer and adorned with inlays of 18k – 750 yellow gold, pays tribute to the Duke of Milan and his court artist, Leonardo da Vinci. The design of the cap-top and the cone is influenced by the striking architecture of the Castello Sforzesco. The lacquer of the writing instrument is decorated with ornaments inspired by the ceiling frescos at Sala delle Asse in Sforza Castle in Milan, which were created by Leonardo. Ludovico Sforza’s family coat of arms served as inspiration for the engraving on the solid 750 gold nib.
The cap ring with its embossments is reminiscent of the “testone”, a silver coin of the Italian Renaissance minted in honour of Ludovico Sforza. A mother-of-pearl captop star completes the design.
MINT CONDITION, NEVER INKED OR USED, COMPLETED WITH LACQUERED WOOD DISPLAY BOX, INNER ILLUSTRATED BOX, INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CERTIFICATE, BOOKLET SIGNED AND DULY STAMPED (number on pen, booklet, display case match).
