{"product_id":"visconti-medici-fountain-pen-briarwood","title":"Visconti Medici Briarwood Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Medici is one of Visconti's most architecturally deliberate pens. Its octagonal faceted shape takes direct inspiration from the Florence Baptistery — one of the oldest and most geometrically precise buildings in the city — with the overall proportions following principles of the golden ratio. It's a design language that puts the Medici in a different category from the Homo Sapiens or the Divina; this is a pen with hard edges and a formal, almost architectural presence in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is Acrosilk, a proprietary Visconti compound that blends acrylic resin with silk fibers. The Briarwood version has been sandblasted to a fine satin finish that evokes the look and texture of finished wood grain — warm and matte, without actually being wood, which means it won't react to humidity or develop cracks over time. Due to the nature of the material, the pattern varies from pen to pen, so no two are exactly identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most distinctive design detail is the central ring. It's constructed using a skeletonization technique and features the official emblem of Florence — the lily — which has appeared in Florentine civic and artistic culture since the Middle Ages. It also functions as a small ink window, letting you monitor the reservoir level without interrupting the body design. The clip is enameled rather than laser-engraved, a refinement introduced in the 2023 redesign of the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilling is via Visconti's double-reservoir power filler — the same titanium vacuum system found on the Crystal Dream — which offers substantial ink capacity and includes a safety valve that seals the reservoir when the plunger knob is fully closed, making it a reliable travel companion. The nib is 18k gold, available in yellow gold or ruthenium plating to match whichever trim version you choose, in EF through 1.3mm Stub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 45 grams and 145mm in length, it's a substantial pen — heavier than the Homo Sapiens and noticeably so in hand. The octagonal cross-section means it won't roll off a desk, and most writers find it sits naturally without needing to consciously orient it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e- Body: Acrosilk (acrylic resin \/ silk fiber composite), sandblasted satin finish\u003cbr\u003e- Trim: Yellow gold plated brass or ruthenium (two versions available)\u003cbr\u003e- Central ring: Skeletonized, Florentine lily motif \/ ink window\u003cbr\u003e- Nib: 18k gold, yellow gold or ruthenium plated — EF \/ F \/ M \/ B \/ 1.3mm Stub\u003cbr\u003e- Filling: Double-reservoir vacuum power filler (titanium)\u003cbr\u003e- Cap: Hook Safe Lock\u003cbr\u003e- Length: 145mm | Diameter: 16mm\u003cbr\u003e- Weight: 45g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visconti","offers":[{"title":"Ruthenium \/ EF","offer_id":45587409928390,"sku":"os111173345587409928390","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ruthenium \/ F","offer_id":45587409961158,"sku":"os111173345587409961158","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ruthenium \/ M","offer_id":45587409993926,"sku":"os111173345587409993926","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ruthenium \/ B","offer_id":45587410026694,"sku":"os111173345587410026694","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ruthenium \/ S","offer_id":45587410059462,"sku":"os111173345587410059462","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ EF","offer_id":45587410092230,"sku":"os111173345587410092230","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ F","offer_id":45587410124998,"sku":"os111173345587410124998","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ M","offer_id":45587410157766,"sku":"os111173345587410157766","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ B","offer_id":45587410190534,"sku":"os111173345587410190534","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow Gold \/ S","offer_id":45587410223302,"sku":"os111173345587410223302","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/9843\/7318\/files\/o_1j56lddfr1eqj10cta8en5457rt.jpg?v=1777832115","url":"https:\/\/epsilongoods.com\/products\/visconti-medici-fountain-pen-briarwood","provider":"Epsilon Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
