The
Medici rulers of Florence were influential patrons of the arts, who
fostered a culture of creativity and innovation in the Renaissance
period.
The Visconti Medici Briarwood collection pays homage to this
important dynasty by crafting a collection of luxury pens that embodies
the spirit of artistic
excellence and elegance that the Medici family
represented.
The
central ring is just one example of the enhancements made to this
historical collection, which is a part of Visconti's heritage. The
loading system now features a capacious power-filler double reservoir
and the clip,
The
pen is made of Acrosilk, an innovative material first introduced by
Visconti, which consists of a compound of acrylic resin and silk fibers.
For a more contemporary look, this special acrylic blend has been
sandblasted to achieve a fine satin finish giving the look of finished
wood grain.
The
pen comes in two elegant versions. Both feature briarwood-colored
resin, but differ in their metallic trims that are either ruthenium or
yellow gold plated.
The
Medici Briarwood fountain pen features Visconti's 18kt gold in-house
nib with yellow gold or ruthenium plating, available in EF, F, M, B, and
Stub widths. The collection is also available in fountain pen,
rollerball and ballpoint.
