Montegrappa Fountain Pen - Theory of Evolution (Limited Edition)

With his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin transformed our understanding of the natural world. But revolutionary writing requires a delicate hand: he spent two decades refining his theory, readying it for public consumption. For this sterling-silver tribute, eclectic Victorian architecture frames a gallery of grand Darwinian breakthroughs – while concealing an awkward evolutionary truth.

Darwin’s Tree of Life is a metaphor for the interconnections between species. The vermeil of this pen highlights the brilliance of his discovery among milestones in natural science history. The Romanesque columns of London’s Natural History Museum provide architectural inspiration in sterling silver for this pen. In this cathedral to nature, Darwin’s profound influence inhabits every space.

Origin of species: A ruby-studded primate skull is concealed within a playful, ‘peekaboo’ display case lined with mirror-polished silver. Gaze inside to gauge your own evolutionary journey.

Expedition-ready: A magnifying glass, journal, and reusable journal cover accompany each exemplar. Editions limited to 165 fountain pens and rollerballs are housed in a bureau case finished in oak.
