Real quill pens were introduced around 700 AD and the use of them spanned over 1000 years. I’ve always found this so elegant!
In today’s modern world, San Francisco artist Agelio Batle takes this age old form and creates his idea of the modern “quill” writing tool. He turns graphite into works of art. You can use it right up to the end and while you draw, it will resist smudging on to your hands.
The way it is designed, it sits beautifully in your hand. To tell you the truth, it’s so stunning as a sculpture piece, I don’t think I’d ever actually put it to use! At $46.00, it measures 6 X 1.5 inches and can be found at Provide Home Store.
