Caran d'Ache Harmony Red Lacquered Fountain Pen Limited Ed 18k (NIB)

Description

The Harmony fountain pen was conceived and developed in accordance with the principles of Feng Shui, helping its owner to make the most of every day of his or her life. It is produced in 888 examples,  a number that favors good luck and prosperity. The pen is finished in gold, together with genuine red Chinese lacquer. The shape of the fountain pen and its clip represent bamboo, a symbol of longevity. This natural element demonstrates the force of nature, its strength and tenacity. The body and the cap are caressed by gentle sculptured leaves and plated in 18-carat gold. They reach upwards towards the top of the pen, searching to capture energy from the sky. The genuine red Chinese lacquer is applied between the leaves by a new process developed by Caran d' Ache, that combines traditional Chinese methods and advanced modern technology. The brilliant appearance of the pen is produced by expert hand polishing. In Feng Shui, the colour red represents the energy of fire and invokes passion, enthusiasm and warmth. Gold represents the energy of metal, a colour that creates an atmosphere of wealth and substance. The push button and the nib both carry the Chinese character for Harmony. At the top of the body, the individual number of each pen, the Caran d' Ache monogram, and Swiss made are engraved. The influence of Chinese architecture is evident in the gentle lines and concave shape design of the presentation box. It opens and closes easily like a valuable piece of antique furniture. Inside the box, in addition to the pen, is a compass. It is a beautiful object in itself but also a method that is central to the art of Feng Shui because it finds and identifies energy flows. This compass will serve as a guide to those who seek a happy and contented future. New in presentation box with literature and compass.  No. 808 / 888.
