Video Description

In today's video, I review what might be one of the most beautiful fountain pens I've ever seen - one so captivating, I splurged and bought one for myself! - the Visconti's Limited Edition Van Gogh Dreaming Starry Night Fountain Pen! Visconti is renowned for their extravagant limited edition pens, which have a very loyal following amongst pen collectors. Their annual limited edition pens are more than just incredible examples of workmanship and design: they are works of art that tell stories. Inspired by Van Gogh’s famous impasto brushstrokes – where thick layers of oil paint build vibrant texture on canvas – Visconti has recreated that feeling with an incredibly tactile barrel by using lost-wax silver casting. When holding the pen, you can feel the ridges and swirls, echoing Van Gogh’s powerful strokes. It’s tactile, artistic, and deeply personal. Each one is hand-enameled by Visconti’s master artisans, creating subtle variations in color and texture, just as no two brushstrokes from Van Gogh were ever the same. This makes every pen truly unique – a personal masterpiece in your hand. The colors are truly stunning. And of course, as with all Visconti pens, functionality is key. The Dreaming Starry Night features the iconic Power Filler Double Reservoir filling system – a hallmark of quality engineering – and one that that my personal Visconti Homo Sapienes utilizes. And in poetic brilliance, the pen is presented with a display stand designed to resemble a painting easel, featuring Van Gogh’s golden signature on the canvas and a plaque with the Visconti logo. This allows you to display the pen as it was meant to be – not just as a writing instrument, but as a piece of art. It is available as a limited series of 230 and can be purchased online at KirbyAllison.com for $4,796. No small amount of money, but when you hold this pen in your hand, you'll have a hard time resisting the urge to use it. I certainly did... resulting in this pen becoming the latest addition to my fountain pen collection! 🖋At KirbyAllison.com, we are excited to have expanded our collection to include a limited range of Visconti's best-selling pens! 🙌 SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL 📽️ Join this channel to support our content with independent craftspeople and artisans: https://www.patreon.com/kirbyallison 🛒 Shop All Kirby Allison Products: https://www.kirbyallison.com #visconti #fountainpen #kirbyallison 📽️ OTHER SUGGESTED VIDEOS https://youtu.be/s_0QeDkfYqw https://youtu.be/WS6fHWq0NUc https://youtu.be/IkDBC1rylsE 🌟 MOST POPULAR VIDEOS ▶️ $400 Shoes vs $1300 Shoes - A Black Cap Toe Oxford Comparison: https://youtu.be/uKFO_x8C2ek ▶️ Gentlemen's Day Out In London | Kirby Allison & Tom Chamberlin: https://youtu.be/NIwK7DuPzI8 ▶️ Inside The Original John Lobb London: https://youtu.be/pc_TsO2lfUk ▶️ How To Cut A Cigar With Davidoff of London: https://youtu.be/DEhhk-0HZE4 ▶️ How To Smoke A Cigar At Davidoff London: https://youtu.be/xsuEd9xpCfM ▶️ Huntsman & Sons New York: https://youtu.be/6VmxRoInFAk ▶️ Double Bespoke Commission with John Kent & Terry Haste: https://youtu.be/-w5OBVL_oAU ▶️ From Suit to Shoot: A British Shooting Series: https://bit.ly/3CSJqf8 🧺 Dry cleaning provided by Rave Fabricare: https://bit.ly/3ery0FU 📍 FOLLOW US ON OUR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA! 🔹 INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/kirbyallison 🔹 TIKTOK: www.tiktok.com/@kirbyallisonofficial 🔹 X: www.twitter.com/kirby_allison
