Visconti – Alexander the Great (LTD)
”There is nothing impossible to him who will try.”
– Alexander the Great
Introducing a tribute to the legendary Alexander the Great from Visconti, chosen in honor of the 2300th anniversary of his passing. This remarkable individual, known for his victories and territorial conquests, left an enduring legacy despite his untimely death at the age of 32. He established and revitalized numerous cities, including the renowned Alexandria in Egypt, which stood as the pinnacle of the Hellenistic civilization.
The pen boasts an elegant cylindrical shape, tapering at the ends to resemble Greek columns. The barrel and cap feature a meticulously crafted map of Alexander the Great’s empire, intricately designed using the scrimshaw technique and adorned with vibrant colors.
The aged bronze metal fittings display authentic Greek decorations. Adorning the central ring is an inscription that reads “Alexander the Great,” while a gilded silver plate depicting Alexander’s face embellishes the bronze band on the shaft.
As a homage to the Macedonian phalanx, the clip, also in aged bronze, takes the form of a spear. The clip itself proudly displays a gilded silver shield depicting the sun, representing Alexander the Great’s family crest. This product encapsulates the rich history and grandeur of one of history’s most notable figures, making it a truly exceptional piece.
A limited collection of only 323 available worldwide.
