Caran d'Ache - Fountain pen

This beautiful writing instrument is made of a brass body and cap, covered with a glossy black polished Chinese lacquer with the Dragon’s body in a matte red Chinese lacquer and a calligraphic depiction of the Dragon made by Mr Li Qiang Sheng. The gold-plated writing block has five engraved depictions of the Dragon. The Caran d’Ache logo and Swiss Made branding are engraved on the ring while the words “Chinese lacquer” are engraved in Chinese on the tip. Equipped with a rhodium-plated 18k gold nib.(Medium size) Designed and produced from start to finish in the company’s workshops in Geneva, the Léman instruments offer writing aficionados a comfort never felt before. Elegant contrasts are seen in the silver-plated and rhodium-coated attributes, topped with a lacquered button in a matching colour. An ode to lakeside settings, they will delight aesthetes looking for a timeless gift to offer or as a personal indulgence. Writing instruments transformed into essential companions through the combination of two precious ancestral skills that are emblematic of the company: the art of lacquering and the art of guillochage. Used in conjunction with a colour chart developed over a number of years by the craftsmen of Caran d’Ache, this mastery is clear for all to see. The pen is 000/888 The pen was never inked. I didn't keep the original box so the price reflect this. but I will pack and ship it carefully.
