A Tribute to the Eternal: Montblanc Revives the Glory of Egypt for Its New Egyptomania Collection
Drawing inspiration from
its own past, as well as the ancient past, Montblanc has recreated its legendary
1920’s ‘Egyptian Fountain
Pen’ for its Heritage Egyptomania Collection – production writing instruments available
in resin, or as a Doué edition inscribed on its the barrel with hieroglyphics
from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. But, appearing to be excavated from
the sacred burial places of the Pharaohs, it is the High Artistry, Heritage Egyptomania - A Revival of Ancient Egyptian Treasures editions,
which show that BEAUTY is eternal in a display of ancient splendour.
Emulating the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun, the yellow gold exterior portion of the Heritage Egyptomania - A Revival of Ancient Egyptian Treasures edition is ornamented with a carnelian decorated, turquoise scarab opening mechanism, which opens to reveal the precious writing instrument within. Encased with semiprecious stones, the fountain pen is fitted with an Au 750 solid gold heritage nib featuring an Egyptian Ankh set with a sapphire.
The Heritage Egyptomania Collection’s resin and Doué editions are likewise equipped with heritage nibs, embossed with a scarab and featuring a triangular heart-hole designed to give a softer writing touch in the style of vintage Montblanc nibs. Notably, the collection’s octagonal barrel is engraved with authentic Egyptian hieroglyphics, developed together with an expert Egyptologist, and can be translated as “White Stone Mountain,” referencing the gleaming peak of Montblanc.
Whether admiring these fine writing instruments as art pieces, bearing the beauty and sacred meaning of an ancient culture, or by putting nib to paper, we preserve and even practice the traditions represented by them. Designed to bring the inspiration of the ancient and recent past into the daily practices of modern life, Montblanc’s Heritage Collection succeeds in highlighting the continuity of ages by bringing to us objects of eternal beauty.
The Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania Collection, as well as Montblanc’s High Artistry Collections, are available through Montblanc Vancouver.
