Montegrappa Venus de Milo Fountain Pen
Her air of harmony, her serene impassivity, the flowing pleats of her drapery…the spectacular discovery of the Venus de Milo in 1820 caused a sensation in the worlds of art and archaeology. Two centuries after her unearthing, her beauty continues to overwhelm. Meticulous casting captures her every glorious imperfection on a writing instrument crafted from museum-grade materials.
Montegrappa's tribute to one of history’s great masterpieces uses Italian bronze and marble to recreate an object representing the pinnacle of human artistry and curiosity. A special moulding technique uses ultra-fine marble ‘flour’ to replicate one of the world’s best-loved treasures in high-resolution detail. Baroque and Greek ornamentations evoke the spectacular setting of her opulent Louvre salon.
