Hand-chiselled bronze craftsmanship
The handle of the quill pen is made with hand-chiselled bronze detailing, entirely finished by skilled Bortoletti craftsmen. This decorative metalwork gives the pen a distinctive Italian character and helps transform a practical writing tool into an elegant desk accessory with strong gift appeal.
Suitable for learning calligraphy
The Classico set is especially well suited to beginners and younger learners who want to discover the art of calligraphy. Its simple, complete presentation makes it an approachable and attractive introduction to writing with a dip pen, while the gift-boxed format makes it easy to give as a present.
The calligraphy nib and writing style
The shape of the nib reflects the traditional way in which quills were once cut and prepared for writing. The form and flexibility of the nib help create variation in the line, allowing the writer to produce the contrast between fine and broader strokes that gives calligraphy its character.
Broad-edged nibs are especially useful for scripts such as Gothic calligraphy, while more flexible nibs are associated with styles such as English writing. As pressure is applied, the nib can widen on descending strokes, helping to create the characteristic contrast and movement seen in handwritten calligraphy.
Before first use
Before using the calligraphy nib for the first time, it should be briefly heated with a flame to remove the protective varnish applied during manufacture. This helps the ink flow more evenly when you begin writing.
Included Hamburg ink
The set includes a 15 ml bottle of Bortoletti-Hamburg calligraphy ink. The ink is designed to give a rich, intense colour that remains strong after drying, while the glass bottle has a screw cap for a secure seal and a wide enough opening to dip the pen easily. This makes it practical for regular writing and calligraphy practice.
Presented in an elegant gift box
The Bortoletti Classico feather quill set is presented in an elegant gift box, making it especially suitable for birthdays, celebrations, keepsakes, and gift-worthy desk presentation. Its combination of traditional style and practical writing tools gives it strong appeal for writers, stationery lovers, and collectors alike.
