A Glimpse into the History of Calligraphy
Metal nib dip pens gradually replaced traditional quill feathers during the 19th century, offering greater durability and precision. Writing with a dip pen required steady technique and patience. The rocker blotter became an indispensable desk accessory of the period, allowing writers to quickly dry fresh ink without smudging their work on delicate parchment or paper.
Care Instructions & Safety Warning
To ensure your writing set lasts for years to come, please follow these basic care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Nib: After each writing session, wipe the metal nib clean with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Storing Ink: Always seal the ink bottle tightly after use and store it away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
- Safety Notice: Ink may stain fabrics or porous surfaces permanently. Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts and a functional sharp point.
