Montblanc Sir Andrew Tate Limited Edition Fountain Pen 36984, 2006

The Sir Henry Tate sugar magnate was one of the most important manufacturers of the Victorian era of Great Britain and perhaps the largest art lover and patron of its time. Through the lines of the pen of the pen with the inlays of guilloché lacquer and the decoration of the rings of the hood, the patron of art edition Sir Henry Tate recalls the architecture of the London Tate Gallery. 

The Platinum-plated 18K/750 gold FINE nib can be retracted with a twisting movement. It is finely engraved with two sugar canes, a tribute to the raw material that enabled Sir Henry Tate, as it says in his foundation statutes “to help British art achieve its rightful place and thus provide pleasure to millions of people in this and further generations”
