MONTBLANC WRITERS EDITION HOMAGE TO JANE AUSTEN LIMITED EDITION 1813 FOUNTAIN PEN

The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Jane Austen is a beautifully crafted tribute to one of England's most cherished authors, known for her sharp wit, memorable characters, and insightful social commentary. This special edition pen is a visual and tactile celebration of the Regency era, an age marked by elegance and refined social customs.

Design and Materials:

• Barrel: The elegant sandstone-grey resin barrel features fluting reminiscent of classical columns, symbolizing the grandeur of noble country estates. Jane Austen’s signature is also elegantly incorporated.
• Cap: The contrasting grey-blue cap draws inspiration from the double-collared Regency coat, famously worn by characters such as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. The cap ring is engraved with the Roman numerals XLIII, marking the chapter where Elizabeth Bennet first visits Mr. Darcy’s estate.
• Rings and Fittings: Gold-coated rings on the barrel and platinum-plated fittings enhance the luxurious design.
• Cap Top: The title page of Austen’s novel Sense and Sensibility, which originally declared the work to be written ‘By a Lady’, is inscribed on the cap top alongside the Montblanc emblem.
• Silhouette: The overall shape of the pen resembles a wax seal stamp, adding a historical touch.

• The clip is uniquely designed to mimic a braided cord with a drawstring closure, resembling a ‘reticule’—a small bag used by women in the 1800s for carrying essentials like powder, a mirror, and a pocket handkerchief.

• The handcrafted nib, made from rhodium-coated solid Au 750 gold, features the only known silhouette of Jane Austen, highlighting her delicate features and immortalizing her legacy in a fine artistic engraving.

This Writers Edition pen is not only a functional writing instrument but also a piece of art that pays homage to Jane Austen’s timeless contributions to literature. It captures the elegance and sophistication of the Regency era while celebrating the enduring impact of Austen’s work.
