Monomakh's cap

Description

A symbol of prestige and power

The Monomakh Cap is a prestigious relic, reminiscent of the immense wealth and power of Imperial Russia. The Tsars wore it only on the day of their coronation. This treasure, dating from the 14th century, is still preserved and visible in the Kremlin Museum in Moscow. It is a renowned symbol of absolute power, combining the warmth of the Russian fur chapka with the splendour of a crown.  It is also a mysterious object. Its origins are unknown. It rose from legends passed down from the Byzantine empire to Vladimir Monomakh, Prince of Kiev.

This solid gold pen - with its emeralds, sapphires, rubies, pearls and diamonds - is thus inspired with subtlety and elegance. It is forged from the noble materials that make up the original chapka and contains its symbols, including the cross that surmounts it.

Byzantine brilliance and the Swiss tradition of excellence

In this jewel dedicated to Russia, one finds the beauty, brilliance, and detail of dazzling Byzantine style, including the elaborate arabesques that run through the pen on its gold case. The Russian tradition, passionate about beauty, is combined with Swiss technical prowess, reliability, and meticulousness. This splendid model is adapted to the Caran d’Ache Léman model. This model is particularly recommended for lovers of the Orient and Great Russia, in recognition of the great achievements made possible through writing.
