For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Never Inked, Mint in the Box 2006 Patron of the Arts Series Montblanc Sir Henry Tate Fountain Pen Limited Edition 3835 of 4810. This pen comes with the original inner and out boxes and Montblanc documentation.
This Montblanc Limited Edition Patron of the Arts Edition is known as the Montblanc Sir Henry Tate Fountain Pen. The Patron of Art Edition “Sir Henry Tate”, strictly limited to 4810 fountain pens, is characterized by clear, tectonic shapes. The inspirational source is the neoclassical architecture of Tate Britain, the museum financed by Sir Henry Tate. The geometrical lines of the platinum-plated body and the decoration of the cap rings reflect characteristic elements in the style of the museum building. In elegant contrast, the cap and body feature red lacquer guilloche inlays, and the cap head bears an ivory-colored Montblanc star. This Montblanc is a limited edition number, "3835 o 4810".
The cap and barrel are in perfect condition with no cracks, nicks, scratches, or repairs. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The trim is perfect with no scratches or wear - there is some patina from the years of laying in the box. The barrel retains the original "MEDIUM" foil sticker. The fountain pen measures 5 3/8" capped and 6 1/2" posted.
The Platinum-plated 18K/750 gold nib can be retracted with a twisting movement. It is finely engraved with two sugar canes, a tribute to the raw material that enabled Sir Henry Tate, as it says in his foundation statutes “to help British art achieve its rightful place and thus provide pleasure to millions of people in this and further generations”. This nib is designated as MEDIUM and the point measures .88mm when using digital calipers.
This Montblanc comes in the original Montblanc wooden lacquered box, outer storage factory box, and Limited Edition Booklet.
