Visconti
crafts this incredible collection with a cylindrical shape, including
carved details reminiscent of Greek columns. The map of Alexander the
Great's empire, created by scrimshaw technique is darkened to make the
depiction stand out against the ivory colored resin on the barrel and
cap. The metal fittings are in aged bronze and feature typical Greek
decorations.
On
the central ring an inscription reads 'Alexander the Great' and on the
bronze band of the barrel there is a gilded plate depicting the face of
this fantastic figure. In homage to the Macedonian phalanx, the clip,
also in aged bronze, is spear-shaped featuring a gilded shield depicting
the sun, Alexander the Great's family crest.
In-House 18kt Gold Nib
The fountain pen features Visconti's in-house 18kt yellow gold nib, available in EF, F, M, B, and Stub widths.
The Alexander the
Great is available as a fountain pen and rollerball. The fountain pen
features Visconti's famous power filling system with a threaded cap
closure and is presented in a magnificent, custom limited edition box
depicting Alexander the Great on horseback seemingly in the midst of
battle with spear and sheild in hand. The collection is limited to 323
pieces worldwide.
