The vintage aesthetics of a historic Montblanc Egyptian writing instrument combined with modern accents.
Egyptomania is inspired in the period when archaeological excavations reached their peak in the 1920s with the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, they sparked a veritable Egyptomania in Europe. Even Montblanc could not escape the fascination and designed a fountain pen with an octagonal shape and engravings in Egyptian style.
Inspired by this writing instrument, Montblanc presents the new Heritage Egyptomania collection with two different editions. They feature authentic hieroglyphics, gold-plated fittings in a vintage look and a 14 K gold nib with embossed scarab motif. The characters roughly mean “mountain of white stone” and thus represent a paraphrase of “Montblanc”.
