Description: BRAND NEW WITH BOX AND PAPERS MONTBLANC MAX VON OPPENHEIM PATRON OF ART LIMITED EDITION FOUNTAIN PEN- M NEW! SEALED Montblanc’s 2009 Patron of the Arts series pays tribute to the ancient historian and archaeologist Max Freiherr von Oppenheim (1860 -1946). Heir to the famous German banking family‚ Oppenheim abandoned his diplomatic career and financed his own excavations at Tell-Halaf in northern Syria from 1911-13, and again in 1929. Amassing a large personal collection in the process, he founded the “Max Freiherr von Oppenheim Stiftung” which today supports continuing archaeological research work and conservation of the near eastern culture and its legacy. His spirit of discovery is brought to life in every detail of this elegant limited edition fountain pen. The gold-plated rings echo motifs found on the main entrance to Tell-Halaf – Oppenheim’s most important exploration. The 925 sterling silver pen body is adorned with translucent grey, precious lacquer creating a three dimensional effect on the surface in a mosaic pattern typical of mosque architecture from the area. The 18K gold and rhodium nib is engraved with a camel – a reminder of Oppenheim’s life as a Bedouin during his explorations. The uniqueness of each piston-filler fountain pen is guaranteed by an engraved edition number, limited to only 4,810 pieces worldwide.
