Peggy Guggenheim Limited Edition 888 Fountain Pen

Examples of engraving

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection Museum, located on the Grand Canal in Venice, is one of the largest museums of modern art. The pattern of the body and hood is inspired by modern works of art from his collection, including the Art Deco movement.

The straight shape of the cap, body and clip refers to the Art Deco period. The hood ring is decorated with lion heads evoking the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, former home of Peggy Guggenheim, with its lion heads, the symbol of Venice. The cone recalls the red and white striped mooring poles of the Venetian canals. In memory of her 14 Lhasa Apso, whom she loved so much and who occupied an important place in her life, the pen is decorated with footprints of dogs' paws. The marbled Montblanc emblem evokes the shape and façade of the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni.
