Montblanc - Writers Edition "William Faulkner" Set de 3 (Estilográfica

A0000005559 SET MONTBLANC WRITERS EDITION "WILLIAM FAULKNER" (3 PIECES): We present at auction an extraordinary investment opportunity for the most demanding collectors of the German maison. This is a complete, matching set of three pieces dedicated to the titan of modern literature and American Nobel laureate William Faulkner, released in 2007. Montblanc limited the production of these cases to only 4,000 sets worldwide, with this being exemplar number 1012/4000. The Faulkner edition design breathes pure Art Deco style, transporting us to the aesthetics of the 1920s and 30s. The bodies of the writing instruments are crafted in a fascinating brown-black precious resin with a subtle pearlescent sheen reminiscent of Macassar ebony wood or tiger's eye. The multiple rings finished in brilliant platinum break the silhouette, evoking the structure of the era's modernist buildings. The Nib: The fountain pen features a superb handmade 18-karat solid gold nib, two-tone finish. Notable is the meticulous engraving of a biplane flying above the clouds, a poetic homage to Faulkner’s great passion for aviation (and to his novel Pylon). The nib retains its original "M" sticker, indicating a Medium nib width. Condition (Expert Review) This lot represents a collector’s dream, as it is in NOS (New Old Stock) condition: Instruments: Absolutely new, spotless and never inked or used. The three pieces remain safeguarded in their original sealed plastic sleeves since they left the factory in 2007. Case: The lot is delivered with its monumental original presentation box in the form of a black-spined book, as well as its outer cardboard jacket with factory barcodes and labels (the cardboard jacket shows very light storage marks on the corners, purely cosmetic, which have perfectly protected the interior). (Prospective bidders are invited to view the photo gallery, which faithfully documents the purity and integrity of this set). Shipping Given the piece’s exclusivity and integrity, it will be shipped in extraordinarily reinforced packaging, insured for the total auction value and with a priority international tracking number. Good luck to all bidders! The complete three-piece sets from the Writers Edition, and even more so when in sealed state, rarely appear on the market. A literary jewel and unique high-precision artistry.
