Product Description
The Pelikan M800 Autumn Leaves captures the serene beauty of a Japanese autumn. This exquisite masterpiece features golden foliage gracefully falling against a rich, red-brown background, symbolizing the colorful transformation of nature during the harvest season.
This fountain pen is a testament to the mastery of traditional Japanese lacquerware, seamlessly blending two of the most representative ornamental techniques: Maki-e and Chinkin.
The Art of Maki-e and Chinkin
The intricate design is brought to life through a laborious and time-consuming process:
-
Maki-e: Designs are meticulously drawn with lacquer using specialized brushes. Gold foil, along with gold and silver powders, are then sprinkled or applied onto the wet lacquer. This process is repeated numerous times to create extraordinary depth and texture.
-
Chinkin: This technique involves decorating the lacquerware by carving precise patterns into the surface using a sharp chisel. In a subsequent step, gold foil and powders are inlaid into the carved areas, creating a brilliant and harmonious contrast with the dark lacquer.
Exquisite Craftsmanship
Based on the legendary Pelikan M800 Souverän model, this fountain pen is equipped with a finely-chased 18-carat two-tone gold nib, accentuated with rhodium décor. Each piece is individually signed by the artist, marking it as a unique work of art.
The "Autumn Leaves" is presented in a traditional Japanese gift box made of Paulownia wood, reflecting the high value and heritage of this limited edition.
Strictly Limited Availability
Released in 2008, the Pelikan M800 Autumn Leaves was part of an edition of only 250 sets worldwide. Long since sold out at the manufacturer, this pen has become a highly coveted collector's item for those who appreciate the fusion of German engineering and Japanese artistry.
