Montegrappa Limited Edition Cosmo Japanese solid gold Fountain Pen

Italy's first pen manufacturer began manufacturing pens in 1912 in its factory in Bassano del Grappa - a picturesque town along the Brenta River, which flows through Alpine foothills in northeastern Italy. Utilizing natural celluloid and precious metals, Montegrappa combines traditional methods of low-relief engraving to form their precious art objects. Like an exquisite antique textile, the Japanese design showcases the beauty of cranes in flight against an ornate sky punctuated by stylized leaves. Whether they use colors reminiscent of the master painters or ornamentation suggestive of Baroque palaces, the Italian heritage and romance is infused into each instrument. Try one and recognize the pleasure that can only be known through writing--by hand.
