Royal Gold/Celluloid/Diamonds Traviata Fountain Pen - Serie Emozioni in Musica

We would like to introduce you to a lesser-known brand of fountain pens in Poland – Montegrappa. The extraordinary history of this brand and its beautiful craftsmanship attract the attention of even the most seasoned collectors. Carefully selected, high-quality materials used by Montegrappa make the exclusive writing instrument collection "Serie Emozioni in Musica" truly regal in character.

La Traviata – Giuseppe Verdi's opera from 1853, based on A. Dumas' The Lady of the Camellias. It brought fame to its composer during its debut at the Fenice Opera House in Venice on 06.03.1853 and inspired Montegrappa to create another writing instrument in its limited collection "Emozioni in Musica".

The incredible character of Violetta – the heroine of the opera – has been precisely depicted on the pen's body. Her face is crafted in (depending on the version) solid silver (925) or gold (18K). The cap's top is decorated with a camellia flower, which Violetta always wore in her attire to highlight her beautiful face.

The delicately contoured cap is decorated with a red celluloid ring, which in a more luxurious version is made with a diadem adorned with 12 diamonds. The clip features a typical 18th-century ornamentation – from the period when the opera takes place. The clip of the gold version of the pen, decorated with precious stones, is embellished with pavé diamonds and two diamonds on the sides. The camellia decorations on the body are created using a low-relief engraving technique (from the English low-relief). In the center of the body, between the decorations, is depicted an extraordinary face of Violetta. During the engraving of this detail in the Silver version, a chisel engraving method was used. In the gold and gold with diamonds versions, a hot enamel technique was applied. An ancient technique mastered by only a few artists worldwide. Exceptional skill is required to apply it flawlessly.

Montegrappa chose 18K gold for the creation of this pen. The remaining part of the pen is made of red-colored celluloid, which has always been associated with passion.

The 18K gold nib – yellow gold with white gold embellishments in this luxurious version – is decorated with the initials "V.V." representing Violetta Valery. Each writing instrument in this series comes with an ornate box inspired by the curtains of 18th-century operas. The entire series is crafted with meticulous attention to detail by world-class artisans.

The detailed craftsmanship ensures comfort during use and satisfaction with such an original and luxurious product as the limited editions by Montegrappa. When choosing office accessories, we should consider functionality as well as appearance, as the latter significantly influences the quality of our work.
