Visconti Backgammon Limited Edition Fountain pen

Visconti dedicates a 128-piece limited collection to the oldest of board games, accompanied by a unique game set, with customized checkers and dice. Backgammon is a pen that perfectly incorporates the aesthetics and spirit of this renowned pastime. The pen is available in two variants, which differ in the blind cap: with die and without die. Backgammon, in its ability to mix components of skill and luck, symbolizes a certain view of human existence. The outcome of a game cannot be planned at first glance as well as success in life: luck is as important as brilliance. The pen's body and cap, with red and black enameled hues, have been made of 925 sterling silver, as have the metalwork, which is palladium plated. The nib, available in all our finenesses, is made of palladium-plated 18kt gold. The travel game set is made entirely of Italian palmellato leather, including dice and counters.
