Description
MONTBLANC Writers Edition “Homage to the Brothers Grimm” Limited Edition Fountain pen, no. 1711/9800. Barrel and cap in precious black resin, whose sombre hue evokes the eerie forests that form the backdrop to the Brothers Grimm’s tales. A wavy motif on the cap and barrel, inspired by both Rapunzel’s hair and tree roots — a metaphor for the Brothers Grimm’s philological work, which they conceived as a ‘search into the roots’ of language. The overall shape of the pen is reminiscent of an old-fashioned walking stick. A platinum-plated clip in the shape of a knotty piece of wood, which swivels to reveal the profiles of the two Grimm brothers. The top of the cap is adorned with the Montblanc emblem in precious resin. Handcrafted nib in 750 18K solid gold, size M. Individual number MAGNPF621. Weight: 63 g. Presented with original box and documentation. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (1785–1863 / 1786–1859) are the most famous collectors of European folklore, whose tales — Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty — have shaped the imagination of entire generations across the globe. This tribute, one of the most inventive in the Writers Edition series in terms of its design, poetically and faithfully transposes the world of the two brothers into a writing instrument.
