Peggy Guggenheim 4810: Montblanc 2016 limited series from the Mécènes collection paying tribute to American Marguerite "Peggy" Guggenheim, extravagant visionary, contemporary art collector and gallery owner. Number 39 of 4810 copies. The linear design of the clip and cap, as well as the lines and shapes of the fountain pen's black lacquer inlays on a platinum background, are inspired by art deco works in her collection. The spiraling red lacquer inlay at the end of the barrel is reminiscent of the striped mooring posts of Venetian canals. The lion heads embossed on the cap ring evoke Peggy Guggenheim's Venetian palace, the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, as well as the lion of St. Mark's, symbol of the city of Venice. Equipped with a rhodium-plated 18-carat gold nib, adorned with a fine engraving representing the paws of the Lhasa Apso, Peggy Guggenheim's favorite breed of dog. Piston filling system. In its wooden box with papers and over-box.
