Product description
Certain novels go down in literary history and come to symbolise an entire era. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, is one such classic of modern American literature. The novel portrays the Jazz Age and the prosperity and extravagance of the Roaring Twenties, set against the backdrop of New York City, the mansions of Long Island and dazzling high-society parties. At its centre is Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire determined to win back the love of his youth, Daisy Buchanan.
This writing instrument draws inspiration from the style of the era. The pinstriped cap in precious black and white lacquer is paired with a barrel finished in precious black lacquer. A platinum-coated clip shaped like a money clip symbolises the power of wealth and features Jay Gatsby’s initials in a gold-coloured Art Deco monogram. The cone references Art Deco hip flasks, with rings in the colours of the American flag. The Montblanc emblem is crafted from mother-of-pearl, reflecting the elegance of Art Deco jewellery design. The handcrafted two-tone Au 750 rhodium-coated gold nib is engraved with an image of Jay Gatsby’s luxurious car..’
