Louis XIV: the "dieudonne", or "gift
from god". The Sun King. He is a historically controversial
figure, but he is also universally recognised for his appreciation
of the fine arts. Louis XIV founded numerous leading European
cultural academies, took apersonal interrest in promising,
talented artists and created an edifice that will always
be associated with his name: The Palace of Versailles.
With its delicate splendour and extravagant
detail, the Patron of Art Edition Louis XIV recalls the
interior decoration of the rooms and salons of Versailles,
the court of the Sun King. The fine barrel made of vermeil
- - gold plated 925 sterling silver is twisted around with
a delicate flower pattern, inspired by the world-famous
gardens of Versailles. The hand-cut nib in 18-carat gold
is captivating because of it's carved heart-shaped hole
and the delicately engraved bows, a typical fashion accessory
in the court of the Sun King
The sumptuous
festivals organised in his name brought countless contemporary
artists to the attention of a regal audience. As one of
the greatest patrons of all time, Louis XIV had a lasting
influence on the style of his age.
The Montblanc Limited Edition Louis XIV does justice to
his famous name: the magnificent gold-plated body is embellished
with a delicate flower pattern, while the opening in the
golden nib is in the shape of a heart.
