Montegrappa Tchaikovsky Limited Edition Fountain Pen – White Swan

Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840äóñ1893) created works which rank among the most popular music in the entire classical repertoire, including his ballets Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and Swan Lake, and his operas The Queen of Spades, Iolanta and Eugene Onegin, his Violin Concerto in D and Symphony No.4. He was the first composer from his homeland whose music made a lasting impression internationally, reinforced by his appearances as a guest conductor in Europe and the United States.

Hugely prolific, Tchaikovsky was also versatile. His vast repertoire included ballets, operas, symphonies, concertos, commissioned orchestral works, orchestral suites and serenades, incidental music for other composers, chamber music, piano pieces, choral music and arrangements for others. His music continues to appear in popular media, from Walt Disney’s 1940 animation, Fantasia, to AC-DC’s ‘Let There Be Rock’.

To honour this creative genius, Montegrappa has designed this limited edition pen, known as White Swan, limited to 125 fountain pens in recognition of the number of years since his death. The pen is made in Black resin for the cap and Ivory White resin for the barrel. It has been embellished with challenging laser-cut engravings of his portrait and signature on the cap, and an excerpt from Swan Lake‘s music original score.

Sterling Silver trim has been applied to each of the 125 pens, etched with a Montegrappa logo and his lifetime years on the cap ring. The blind cap is inscribed with the Limited Edition number, while the signature clip resembles a flute, the composer’s favourite instrument. The cap top is fashioned with a slanted cut, with the “Sol” key central, embellished by the light of a diamond. The fountain pen is both converter and cartridge fed. The nib is made in 18k gold with a ballet-dancer from Swan Lake etched on its top and is available in the writing grades of Fine, Medium and Broad.

Presented in an elegant polished black lacquer storage box.
