Introduction

The second map in Auroras Ancient Maps collection pays tribute to the famed 1450 map by Fra Mauro, housed in Venices Marciana Library. This masterpiece represents a pivotal moment in cartography, bridging medieval worldviews and the dawn of modern exploration. It is the last great map of the Middle Ages before the age of discovery reshaped our understanding of the world.

The Fra Mauro fountain pen features a striking beige and blue marbled Auroloide body, complemented by sterling silver (925) trims. It is fitted with an 18kt solid gold nib, rhodium-treated for durability and elegance. Special details include an armillary sphere on the cap and a wind rose at the base, both crafted in solid 925 silver. Limited to just 680 pieces, this exclusive edition will be available in April for $1,395.00.

To further immerse collectors in the art of exploration, Aurora has designed a tactile sleeve with raised details, allowing the journey of past explorers to be traced by toucheven with closed eyes.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, only 680 pieces of the Aurora Fra Mauro have been produced worldwide.
