Visconti, of Firenze, Italy, was founded in 1988 by two avid antique writing instrument collectors whose goal was to produce and market celluloid fountain pens. Celluloid had been abandoned for over thirty years by the established brands but continued to be in demand by serious collectors.

After persuading one of the oldest companies to resume production of celluloid, the enthusiastic owners found their own machinery and put together a team of artisans with varied experience, who, out of pure love for fountain pens, applied their talents to the various phases of handcrafting celluloid.

Today, after years of experience in the making of celluloid, Visconti is the largest celluloid pen factory worldwide and offers its services and experience to anybody who wishes to produce pens with the material. They have extended their expertise to ebonite, acrylics, lucite, antique ivory, and in the best Florentine tradition, silver, gold, and precious jewelry pens in the use of diamonds.

Since its founding, Visconti has employed exacting standards of technology while at the same time using the most traditional techniques and craftsmanship. You’ll love their attention to detail. Visconti pens carry a limited five-year warranty.
