Metropolitan Museum Of Art 18th Century Parisian Rollerball Pen
Inspired by the collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Parisian pen is modeled after an exquisite 18th century étui design by the renowned French goldsmith Georges-Antoine Croze. The étui was a small ornamental case originally used to hold sealing wax. Letters sealed with a wax stamp bearing the writer’s crest were especially valued at a time when correspondence was hand carried.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art 18th Century Parisian capped rollerball pen features a gold-plated brass body with a scale pattern lacquered in blue, red and green. A blue cabochon sits atop the pen’s crown. Each pen is presented in a gorgeous blue lacquered wood box with a history of the design.
