From France come these exquisite, perfectly balanced dip pens. Hand cast in solid pewter, they warm to the touch as you write, becoming an almost organic extension of your hand. While the writer is at rest they are a refined adornment to any desk, displayed atop simple pen rests. Developing a rich patina over time, becoming indistinguishable from their 17th-19th century forebears. Available in many motifs, from classic fleur de lys to playful coffee beans, these heirloom quality antique reproductions inspire professional and novice calligraphers alike. Potier d'Etain is a 5th generation family of French pewtersmiths. Specializing in hand cast pewter using highly detailed vintage molds, they create exceptional antique reproduction desk accessories. Papier Plume is the exclusive North American distributor of Potier d'Etain.
