The Patron of Art Edition “Sir Henry Tate”, strictly limited to 4810
fountain pens, is characterised by clear, tectonic shapes. The
inspirational source is the neoclassical architecture of Tate Britain,
the museum financed by Sir Henry Tate. The geometrical lines of the
platinum-plated body and the decoration of the cap rings reflect
characteristic elements in the style of the museum building. In elegant
contrast, the cap and body feature red lacquer guilloche inlays and the
cap head bears an ivory-coloured Montblanc star.

The platinum-plated 18-karat gold nib can be retracted with a twisting
movement. It is finely engraved with two sugar canes, an allusion to
the
raw material that enabled Sir Henry Tate, as it says in his foundation
statutes “to help British art achieve its rightful place and thus
provide pleasure to millions of people in this and further generations”.
The exclusive edition also includes the fountain pen “Sir Henry Tate”,
of which only 888 will be produced. Made of solid 750 white gold and
completed with grey lacquer inlay work. The cap head is surrounded by a
series of square-cut diamonds.
