The Patron of Art Edition The Prince Regent pays tribute to this British king and patron of the arts with a pen of truly regal appearance. A fascinating fretwork pattern winds over the deep blue precious resin barrel of the pen – in Edition 4810 this is in gold-plated 925 sterling silver, and in Edition 888 it is made of 750 solid gold.

The cap is decorated by a crown whose delicate composition recalls the keen eye for detail of royal craftsmen of the past.

Despite various periods of turmoil during his reign, King George IV of Britain, with his appreciation for the fine arts, managed to shape British culture to his taste. His influence is still visible today. Because of the monarch’s penchant for culture, art forms from the period of his reign are known as those of the “Regency Period”.
