Paris, the eternal city of light, is enriched by its places for romantic strolls, such as the banks
of the Seine or the Pont des Arts, its literary quarters. Such as Saint-Germain-des Pres, its
Haussmann-style grey stone buildings, and its many inter nationally-renowned squares.
Place Vendôme, commissioned by King Louis XIV and designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart,
architect of the Palace of Versailles, is defined by its majestic proportions and a strong
sense of symmetry, as well as by its octagonal shape, unique in the world. A large number of
sophisticated sculptures embellish the sand-coloured stone of its buildings. It is also one of
the most emblematic squares of French 17th century architecture. Following his victory at
Austerlitz at the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon enriched the square by erecting
the Vendôme Column, made using the bronze from cannons left behind by the Austrians
after battle.
S.T. Dupont has engraved into each palladium cap and barrel, a quote from Napoleon:
"Impossible n'est pas Francais" (Impossible is not French). Each Place Vendome pen features
eight hematite stones hand placed into the cap and an individual serial number from the
1,810 pieces produced worldwide.
Since 1872, S.T. Dupont has been producing luxury accessories using precious materials
and time-crafted techniques. This S.T. Dupont piece is packaged in a timeless gift box.
