Description A beautiful Visconti Forbidden City fountain pen in blue and gold vermeil!!! LIMITED EDITION: NUMBER 057 OF ONLY 888 AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE The Forbidden City is the greatest symbol of Chinese culture:  its group of palaces, their symbolism, their halo of secrecy and inaccessibility, as well as the word "forbidden" itself, evoke a sense of respect, deference and admiration. The Forbidden City represents the magnificence of a thousand-year-old culture which, throughout the centuries, has generated an ancestral wisdom and a deep, eternal knowledge.  Visconti spent seven years developing and creating the Forbidden City writing instrument.  This Visconti Forbidden City fountain pen is a beautiful example of Visconti's renowned craftsmanship.  The physical condition of the pen is mint; it has never been used.  The cap and barrel of the Visconti Forbidden City have been crafted by hand from blue resins and are finished in gold vermeil -- sterling silver plated in gold.  This vermeil overlay depicts the classic decoration of the Forbidden City.  The Forbidden City's nib is a beautiful, two-toned 18-KT gold Visconti nib, which is medium in size.  The filling system is Visconti's Power Filler piston filling system.  This is a  beautuful Visconti fountain pen for someone desiring to add a unique Visconti Forbidden City fountain pen to their collection of fine writing instruments! This large Visconti Forbidden City fountain pen is 6.25" long capped and 6" long uncapped.  The cap of the Forbidden City is over .625" in diameter at its widest point.    This Visconti Forbidden City fountain pen is presented in its original wood Visconti Forbidden City presentation case with its outer box and all Visconti Forbidden City papers, as shown in the accompanying photographs.
