Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Dark Age Fountain Pen

Out of stock

Prehistoric man shaped obsidian tools from lava to survive; Visconti has created a writing instrument inspired by that genius. Dark Age pairs Visconti's patented blend of Mount Etna basaltic lava and resin – unbreakable, moisture-absorbing and velvety to the touch – with dark ruthenium-finished metalwork for a brooding, all-black look. The fountain pen fills by Visconti's Power Filler vacuum system and seals with the Hook Safe Lock bayonet closure.

Shown here in Black with ruthenium trims.

The fountain pen is fitted with a 14kt gold nib and fills by Visconti's Power Filler (vacuum) system. Choose your preferred nib size from the options above.
