The fascinating spider web design of the Patron of Art Edition Octavian is adapted from a typical design of the 1920s and also recalls the elaborate web of power that the well-known emperor Octavian Augustus managed to weave during his Empire. Octavian, honored by the Roman Senate with the name Augustus, was the driving force behind the cultural renaissance of the era that followed numerous years of war. Through shrewd tactical moves, strategic liaisons with powerful Romans, and a deliberate promotion of the arts, Octavian created an elaborate cultural network. Because of his support for the construction of splendid public buildings, which made Rome a city of marble and a powerhouse of artistic and intellectual endeavor, his name is necessarily associated with the heyday of the Roman Empire.

The Montblanc company was founded in 1906, and in 1913 the star that is its emblem and hallmark of the house was created. It is a round white star that represents the snow that covers the summit of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe, and symbolizes the commitment of the brand as European manufacturers of objects of the highest quality and distinction.
