271 - Set of three INOXCROM fountain pens, second half of the 20th century.

Set of three INOXCROM fountain pens, second half of the 20th century. Resin body with gold-plated metal accents. They feature different types of nibs and finishes. In good condition, with signs of use and surface wear on the model with a glossy finish. Measurements: 13.5 cm in length. Provenance: Estate of Ramon Martí Alsina and Ricard Martí Aguiló. Artistic and heritage collection originating in the legacy of Catalan painters Ramon Martí Alsina (1826–1894), a seminal figure of 19th-century Catalan Realism, and his son Ricard Martí Aguiló (1857–1935). Passed down and enriched across successive generations, the collection brings together works from the original holdings of both artists alongside acquisitions made by their descendants. Dedicated to preserving and recovering the family legacy, the descendants actively reacquired works by the painters as they entered the market, progressively expanding the collection to encompass paintings, sculptures, archaeological artifacts, and other items of artistic and historical significance. The set includes three fountain pens from the Barcelona-based firm Inoxcrom, representative of the variety of designs developed by the company during the second half of the 20th century. The brand originated in Barcelona with the manufacture of stainless steel nibs and was registered in 1946; it later expanded its production to include complete fountain pens and other writing instruments.
