Montblanc Writers Edition 1994 Oscar Wilde Ballpoint Pen

Oscar Wilde was an Irish writer born in the nineteenth century and achieved worldwide fame for his sharp humor and eccentric personality. He significantly influenced the era of aestheticism and always placed the beauty of art above morality. His works include world-famous dramas and poetry as well as his only novel, which deals with the pursuit of eternal youth. Despite his great literary success, social scandals and a subsequent trial led to his imprisonment. After his release, he spent the last years of his life impoverished and isolated in European exile until he finally died in Paris at the age of just forty-six. The special series of the Montblanc Writers Edition, published in 1994, honors the legacy of this extraordinary literary figure with fine design details. The luxurious ballpoint pen with the specific item number 28617 is characterized by a striking body and a cap made of elegant marbled resin in the colors black and dark green. All fittings and the characteristic clip are made of high-quality 925 sterling silver, which has also been given elegant 18 carat gold plating in the vermeil style. A special feature on the cap of the writing instrument is the engraved inscription of Oscar Wilde's name. The precise writing system works via a classic rotating mechanism which reliably moves the lead in and out, thus guaranteeing maximum functionality.
