Visconti - Alchemy - Caneta de tinta permanente
N.º 92852199
*** This Alchemy pen is unused and was never inked. Number 946 out of 1038. Comes in original packaging. Has one pen on each side ***
The Alchemy was inspired by the ideas of dualism. This fountain pen has two ends that allow you to write in two different ink colors and two different nib sizes.
The red resin barrel has two separate reservoirs that are filled with an eyedropper. Each half is over-layed in silver and gold plate engraved with symbolic elements of the Alchemy philosophy.
The pen is suspended magnetically inside a display with two dragons forming a circle of life. The dragon circle is held vertically by the large, cone-shaped crystal inkwell. This fountain pen is limited to 1,038 pieces worldwide.
The Alchemy Fountain Pen comes only as a desk set. The body in red resin has two opposite nibs to write in two different colors or in two different types of nibs. The filling system, with eyedropper, has two separate demo reservoirs, one for each nib. The pen is magnetically suspended inside a display with two dragons forming a circle which represents the life cycle. A cone-shaped clear inkwell holds the dragons and the pen vertically. Trims are in silver and gold plating for the 1038 pieces edition.
Symbology
The hermetic thought has an endless number of symbols. We have gathered in Alchemy Pen the most significant symbols of the Alchemic Opus:
Ouroboros: figure of a snake eating its own tail. With this imaginary symbol the pagan world wanted to represent the perpetual movement of the world: the unity of everything (the circle) which is distributed in the multiplicity of its cyclic transformations (the coils of the snake symbolize the lunar phases) returns in itself (the junction of the tail of the snake with its head), thus reconciling the apparent contradiction between and the unity and the multiplicity.
Red Color: Rubedo or final phase of the alchemic process or great work consisting in the philosophers' stone.
Cosmic diagrams: from the Sylva Philosophorum. They represent the macrocosm and the philosophers' stone with their relationships.
Androgynous: gold and silver. The philosophers attribute the female character (the Moon) to the humid and cold matter and the male character to the hot and dry matter (the Sun).
Alembic: the inkwell. It represents the laboratory of alchemy and the necessary work to complete the Opus. Two are the possible ways: the dry or the humid way.
