Product Details:

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 a personal interest 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.
