About

Owner and businesswoman Barbara Nichol has made a study of the history of writing a specialty that is channelled into the vast range of penmanship materials available in store, which spans everything from historic implements to high-tech modern inventions. Nichol’s comprehensive study of writing—and especially of Copperplate, the fastest writing method that has been developed—has led her to strive for a range of pens and writing equipment that caters to serious writers, artists, calligraphers and other professionals. Writing enthusiasts and visitors to the stores will also enjoy inspecting the Vintage Pen Museums, including the oldest known style of Fountain Pen, dated 1701.
