Pen of the Year 2024 Ottoman Empire Limited Edition Fountain Pen

The Pen of the Year 2024 celebrates the opulent "Turquerie" period, a unique era when Ottoman art and culture captivated Europe between the 16th and 18th centuries. Designed by Serdar Gülgün, a master of Ottoman aesthetics, this limited-edition pen embodies the grandeur and symbolism of the time. Its platinum-plated barrel is adorned with 18 brilliant rubies, while intricate chevron patterns with blue lacquer inlays reflect Ottoman tent motifs. The cap features symbols of power and fortune, with a crescent moon and masterfully crafted tassels. 

A tribute to Ottoman treasures, the pen’s inner sleeve is decorated in a platinum-plated design visible upon unscrewing, revealing a hidden “jewel” within. The domed end piece, engraved with a tortoise, honors Ottoman values of wisdom and longevity and recalls the mystical glow of tortoises lighting tulip gardens by night. With only 315 fountain pens and 85 rollerball pens available, each piece is a rare collector’s item that offers both artistic depth and luxurious writing pleasure. The 18-carat magnum gold nib ensures a smooth writing experience, transforming every stroke into a journey through a rich cultural history.
