MARQUIS DE POMPADOUR (1721-1764), pen no. 2991/4810. Germany 2001. Dedicated to Jeanne Antoinette de Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, this pen is Montblanc's tribute to the woman who was for years the lover, confidante, and advisor of King Louis XV of France. Surrounded by figures of the stature of Voltaire, Diderot, and Mozart, her influence at court for almost twenty years was decisive for the promotion of the Fine Arts. This pen pays tribute to such a pivotal figure by combining her two great passions: flowers and porcelain. Made of white porcelain and 925 sterling silver plated in gold. Cap in porcelain from the prestigious Meissen factory, with hand-painted floral decoration. Original 18K gold nib. Piston filler. Brand new. In working order. With original case.
