Before the dip pen invention we commonly use today, Feather Quill Pens, which are made from moulted flight feathers of a large bird, were used for writing with ink. Quill Pens and parchment paper were widely used throughout history to write documents like medieval manuscripts, the Magna Carta, and the Declaration of Independence, making this a perfect gift for authors, calligraphers, business professionals, crafters, historians, family and friends! This Antique Style Inkwell & Refill Desk Set includes Feather Quill Nib Pen which measures 10� long, 2 sheets of 10� by 7� Parchment Paper, 4 bottles of color ink powder (brown, green, red, & black), and collectible storage box.
