Fine & Luxury Pens

Reeds, twigs, bark and the like were all items used for the purpose of writing by ancient civilizations. One end of the object was sharpened and then dipped in a substance like ink or soot so as to provide colour with which the ancients could write with. By the time of the ancient Greeks, these writing instruments had evolved to metal and bone. Eventually, quill pens made from feathers became popular writing tools and were used from around 500 BCE to the 18th century.


1702 saw the design and manufacture of the first fountain pen, made by a Frenchman, M Bion. Several alterations to this original design followed, with styles and designs going in and out of fashion. The constant issue was that all these styles had pens that leaked and smeared, and this did not go well with the act of writing. In 1884, Lewis Edson Waterman invented the first fountain pen that proved practical and efficient. This style of pen remained popular and this pen was the primary writing tool up until 1938 when the ballpoint pen was invented by Laszlo Biro.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
