The clip of the pen is a graceful female figure, whose wings wrap around the cap of the pen like a butterfly’s. The black of the barrel of Edition 4810 provides a striking contrast to this delicate fretwork effect in 925 sterling silver. ·        The barrel and cap of Edition 888 are made of mother-of-pearl lacquer and covered with a 750 white gold weave. ·        Andrew Carnegie is still considered one of the greatest patrons of culture in the modern world. A steel tycoon who emigrated from Scotland to the USA, he was firmly convinced that wealthy people were morally obliged to dedicate themselves to charitable works. So he spent more than 350 million dollars – almost his whole fortune – on cultural foundations, public libraries and cultural programs, and on fostering talented art nouveau artists, the most fashionable artists of the day. ·        Mother-of-pearl lacquer ·        750 white gold fretwork ·        Rhodium-plated 18-karat gold nib ·        Greenish-Brown Lacquer Wooden Collectors Edition Decorative Pen Box (Information taken from www.montblanc.com)   Payment and Shipping PAYMENT IS TO BE RECEIVED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF AUCTION END.
