Few people have been able to shape the cultural course
of the world so decisively as Alexander the Great. Through
the influence of his teacher Aristotle, the young king
of Macedonia sowed the seeds of Greek architecture,
phiosophy and art in large parts of the Orient during
his conquests. The cities founded by him--particularly
Alexandria in Egypt - soon became centres of culture,
science and research in the dawning age of Hellenism.
This magnificent Hellenistic age is reflected by the
Patron of Art Edition Hommage a Alexander the Great.
The gold-plated cap Edition of 4810, which is shaped
like a slender column, is richly ornamented with lotus
flowers, which form a fascinating contrast to the black
lacquer background. Gold-colored veins flow mysteriously
through the black, finely marbled lacquer of the barrel.
In Edition 888 not only these veins, but also the cap
and clip are made of 750 solid gold. The clip is finished
off with an approximately 0.14-carat drop-shaped diamond.
The 18 carat gold nib is delicately engraved with the
god Amon - a reference to Alexander the Great. who was
once declared by an oracle to be the son of Amon on
earth.
The Hellenistic period
that was doninated by Alexander the Great spread the spirit
of Greek culture throughout the world. He was a passionate
and charismatic ruler who was worshipped as a deity by the
Macedonians.
The columns that are characteristic of the ancient architecture
of his era appear on the gold-plated cap of the fountain
pen. The body of this Limited Edition is given a distinguished
look by the black marbled pattern and the gold-coloured
veins.
