Give your calligraphy or drawing set a personal look with a Deml wooden penholder. Choose a solid colour, pearlescent effect or decorative pattern. You receive one holder in your selected finish, without a nib, ink or paper.
Choosing a finish
The colour and pattern give the holder its appearance; your chosen nib determines the writing line. The multicoloured, black-silver and black-gold marble versions have patterns that vary between holders. Marble and pearlescent describe the appearance of the finish here.
Length by version
- Red, blue, black, pearlescent turquoise and multicoloured marble: about 17 cm.
- Black-silver and black-gold marble: 17.5 cm.
These named versions have a beechwood holder with a metal nib fitting. Choose your finish in the menu and view its corresponding photograph.
Choosing and fitting a nib
The red, blue, black and pearlescent turquoise versions are intended for standard calligraphy nibs. Check the insertion shape of your chosen loose nib and seat it securely without forcing it. Try the combination on a practice sheet to adjust your grip and writing angle.
Working and care
Use ink suitable for your chosen dip-pen nib and keep the wood out of the ink. Clean the nib following the ink instructions. Wipe the holder as needed and dry it; avoid soaking the wood in water. Explore calligraphy materials · drawing and writing materials.
