Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania Special Edition Black resin

The new Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania collection reawakens the spirit of exploration
Eternal Egypt, Eternally Fascinating
From Roman emperors to modern-day travellers, ancient Egypt has captivated the imagination for millennia. Seduced by the allure and mystery of the land of the pharaohs, early 20th century explorers set out on expeditions to uncover secret treasures. The discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb and the mysteries inside it created one of the biggest cultural events of the 20th century. A new era of Egyptomania has dawned influencing every part of the arts and intellectual life – from the Art Deco movement through films and literature to unique writing instruments.
Like one of the many breath-taking discoveries unearthed by the great archaeologists on expeditions down the Nile, the Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania collection brings back one of its own iconic treasures from the past. The so-called Montblanc ‘Egyptian Fountain Pen’ from the 1920s, featuring an elegant octagonal shape and Egyptian style engravings, is reimagined for today’s writing culture enthusiasts, combining vintage flair and the spirit of exploration.
Created in partnership with an expert Egyptologist, the octagonal precious resin cap of the writing instrument is decorated with authentic hieroglyphs that translate as “white stone mountain”, denoting Montblanc. The 14K gold nib on the fountain pen features an embossed scarab – a sacred ancient Egyptian beetle – and a triangular heart-hole that offers a softer writing style, reminiscent of historical Montblanc fountain pens.
The Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania Edition is made up of two editions:resin and douè each available as a fountain pen with piston filling system, ballpoint pen and rollerball pen.
