I've wanted a Montblanc pen for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I thought to myself, "I'll buy a Montblanc pen and sign important documents with it". It felt like the ultimate big girl accessory. It took me a while to get one though. I didn't want a regular black Montblanc pen - I wanted one with a cool design and story. I found the Peggy Guggenheim Limited Edition 4810 Fountain Pen, and I knew it was what I'd been searching for. 




Montblanc has a whole line of collectible pens, which is the true jewel of Montblanc. 



The details and ornateness of each pen from the Collection are truly a pinnacle of art and craftsmanship. I highly suggest visiting a Montblanc store in person to experience these pens. 



The Peggy Guggenheim fountain pen is part of the Patron of Art collection. 



She was an American art collector and socialite who collected art between 1938 and 1946. 



The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is an art museum on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. 




The Patron of Art Edition features fountain pens that celebrate promoters and advocates who helped to cultivate some of the most influential artistic movements. 



The Peggy Guggenheim pen comes with a vivid red presentation box. I am proudly displaying this on my home office desk, and it's so beautiful. 



But the inside gets even better. It shines against the black velvet lining, and it's such a treat to write with this gorgeous pen. 



The clip has platinum-coated fittings. The pen features a black lacquered barrel with a platinum-coated Art Deco pattern and a cone with translucent red lacquer. 



It has a black lacquered cap with a platinum-coated Art Deco pattern, inlaid with a Montblanc emblem. 



I've used Bic pens my whole life, so I had to get a "lesson" from the sales associate from Montblanc on refilling the ink and properly writing with the fountain pen. But once you get the hang of it, writing with the fountain pen is so much better and smoother. I also feel like my penmanship is better when I write with a fountain pen, haha. 



Montblanc gives you a nib guide, so you can customize your Montblanc pen just the way you want it. 



There are different ink colors available. 



I chose the most classic and popular "Mystery Black", as I intended to use the pen for signing documents, but there are other cool colors like purple, red, blue, and navy. 



The sales associate also showed me the Cool Grey ink bottle, and it was the coolest color - it writes like a pencil! This will be my next ink bottle purchase, for sure.
