Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Napoléon Bonaparte – A tribute to Napoléon Bonaparte, a historical figure whose life had a profound impact on world history.
Napoleon's glory lives on in the magnificent "architecture parlante" style of famous buildings in Paris built during his reign. In addition to architecture, other arts such as painting, sculpture and decorative arts also flourished under his leadership.
The overall design is inspired by neoclassical style. The golden bee motif on the dark blue lacquer background is inspired by Napoleon’s throne at Fontainebleau, and the sword-shaped clip bears Napoleon’s “N”. The engravings on the pen’s tip – a laurel wreath, a crown and an eagle – refer to Napoleon’s coronation insignia.
The cap also features the Montblanc emblem in precious resin. The end of the clip is decorated with a red stone reminiscent of the coronation ring of Napoleon's wife, Joséphine.
Paying homage to Napoleon Bonaparte, the handcrafted 18K solid gold nib features a portrait of Napoleon with his famous bicorn.
