This ballpoint pen belongs to our latest collection, Apollonio, inspired by the work of 15th century master Apollonio di Giovanni, a Florentine painter and miniaturist. He was the head of a celebrated workshop where wooden chests for domestic use were finely decorated. Apollonio pens feature glossy or satin surfaces that are treated with a special technique conceived in our workshop, reminiscent of ancient wood treatments and shellac finishes. The final result evokes the texture of wood.
APOLLONIO COPPER is handmade precious resin ballpoint pen with 24kt palladium plated bronze elements. The enamel on the end cap is made of unbreakable and scratch material. The 24Kt palladium plating is nickel free. Being the pen handcrafted the final product may differ slightly from the picture.
⚜All our writing instruments are handcrafted in our studio in Florence with traditional methods and techniques. Only a few people know that the first Italian fountain pen was built in the early 1900s in Florence by a goldsmith; we’re honoring such heritage with this new collection of ballpoint pens.
🎁 All our pens are shipped in their gift box and are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by ourselves (designer Valerio Salvadori and master goldsmith Marco Frangini). The ballpoint pen includes an international standard ballpoint refill with gel ink (Schmidt, Germany).
