Polished Brass Pen Holder with Ox Bone Nib Pen

A traditional writing instrument presented on its own brass stand.

This ornate polished brass pen holder brings the dip pen out of the drawer and back onto the writing desk. Its curved supports cradle the included ox bone nib pen horizontally, keeping it close at hand beside an inkwell, journal or correspondence paper.

The turned bone handle and removable metal nib recall an earlier era of everyday pen-and-ink writing, while the substantial brass stand gives the piece the presence of a small desk object even when the pen is not in use.

Selected by Boston Lore Studio as a functional historical reproduction—an object that makes the ritual of writing part of the desk itself.
