Andrew CArnegie is still considered one of the greatest patrons of culture in the modern world. A Steel tycoon who emigrated from Scotland to the USA, he was firmly convinced that wealthy people were morally obliged to dedicate themselves to charitable works. So he spent more than 350 million dollars - almost his whole fortune - on cultural foundations, public libraries and cultural programs, and on fostering talented art nouveau artists, the most fashionable artists of the day. The stylish and elegant Patron of Art Edition Hommage a Andrew Carnegie recalls the artistic style that Carnegie supported so enthusiastically: art nouveau. the Clip of the pen is a graceful female figure , whose wings wrap around the cap of the pen like a butterfly's. The black of the barrel of Edition 4810 provides a striking contrast to this delicate fretwork effect in 925 sterling silver. The barrel and cap of Edition 888 are made of mother-of-peral lacquer and covered with a 750 white gold weave. The Montblanc star in this edition is made of fine mother-of-pearl. A delicately engarved lily - popular art nouveau motif - decorates the rhodium-plated 18 carat gold nib. Industrialist and philanthropist extraordinaire, Andrew Carnegie personifies the American dream and the idea that man does not live by bread alone. Overcoming poverty to become one of the richest men of his time, he rejected an elitist lifestyle to patron the arts and champion the common man. His legacy still enriches the world today and his crowning work, the Carnegie Hall, has become a temple of culture and one of the most important stages in
the world.
Echoing the style he loved, HOMMAGE À ANDREW CARNEGIE is an art nouveau tribute to the man and his legacy. Its exquisitely carved, 18-carat gold nib and pitch-black barrel set a graceful scene for the dramatic crown of a sterling silver clip in the sensual form of a winged feminine figure.
