This review is for a Feather Pen Ink Set.CONTENTS** Classic quill pen complete with feather and red ribbon** Marker pen** Nib base/holder** 5 x replacement nibs (3/2/1.8/1.2/1 mm)** Bookmark** Envelope and letter paper** Letter opener** Bottle of black pen ink** Wax stamp and wax spoon for melting** Tea light candle** Box of wax beads** Attractive vintage style gift boxSIZE** The feather dip pen measures 10" in length** The paper measures 11.2" in length x 2 .3" in width** The bottle of ink holds 18 mls.DESIGN/QUALITY** Really this set works more as a novelty display item rather than a good quality useable quill pen set. The nibs seem a bit too fragile for regular use.** The paper with envelope is an interesting item, it looks very much like old parchment.** The wax stamp and melting beads work very well and produces a very effective and attractive wax seal.IN USEWe live in a very old Georgian village house and we've decorated in an old vintage style reminiscent of the mid 1700s. In our office we have a burr walnut roll top writing bureaux that I inherited from my parents. I've set this attractive set on top of this bureaux and it really looks the part.I LIKE** The vintage design and style** The attractive engraving on all of the metal parts.** The set is beautifully presented.** This whole set would make a really lovely gift.I DON'T LIKE** It's really not the best quality in the world but considering the very reasonable price it's certainly good enough as a display or occasional use item.PRICE£26.99 (price correct at the time of this review) is probably the right price for this.Thank you for reading and I hope you have found my review helpful.

A very nice gift. The person was well chuffed.

The pen looks beautiful, all the accessories are really fancy. Easy to showcase on a desk and still works well.

Purchased as a last minute gift and I'm so pleased i found it. Absolutely beautiful gift

If you recieve thos as a gift then lucky you but if you buy for yourself you will not be disappointed. It comes in a box with an old style map on it and ribbon. On opening everything is beautifully laid out with a really feather used in the quill pen which is made of stainless steel and decorated with cogs and a metal feather. This does take some time getting used to writing with due to the end of the Hill hut you soon get used to it. The quill has it's own ornate stand and a pot of ink. It also has 6 nibs in total and one is actually attached to get you started. The nibs range from 1mm to 3mm. Once you have written your letter it's time to add it to an envelope and to seal with a wax stamp. You are supplied with a tealight, a decorative spoon, a jar of different colour wax and a stamp. To melt the wax, simply add to the spoon and either hold at the end as the seller suggests or if you have them two rubber thimbles that can be used for counting. Onne melted pour o to the envelope and stamp down with with the enclosed stamp. In the pack there is also a metallic pen should you wish to highlight the raised parts of the seal. The set also has a bookmark and a letter opene4 in a similar matching design. I just think it's a beautiful set.

I selected this set because I love writing. I love stationery and a quill ink pen invokes an age old vision of the writer at work. Wonderful.Each item in this box is well made, solid and weighty. It’s a stunning set with everything you need to create a written piece of magic.The box is well laid out and looks the absolute bees knees.In use though, I find the quill pen a tad disappointing. It’s just too heavy for me. I have quite big hands for a female but it doesn’t seem to matter how I align the nib, the wing on the shaft seems to unbalance the pen. It might be because the wing is mounted a little too high, or I am holding it completely incorrectly but it feels difficult to hold. I find I have to grip too firmly and therefore my hand doesn’t move flowingly. The whole point of calligraphy / quill pen writing is to be flowing and perhaps a little showy. I’m sure, in time, I will get used to it as I intend to persist but it seems that the look of the pen seems to have taken precedence over the use, which is unfortunate.It will make a great gift though. The presentation on it’s own will fire the imagination of the user, young or old.
