To this day, the core of Ireland’s heritage remains unmistakably Celtic, and it is fair to say that his pen will be an eagerly awaited gift honouring that heritage, pride, courage and values. The pen features intricate Celtic Knot scrollwork on the tip, clip and end, and an emerald colour cabochon on the cap. The Celtic Knot motif dates back to the 5th century and represents the truth of eternity and interconnected spirit. Your gift recipient doesn’t need to be of Celtic origin to appreciate this pen; the symbolism of Celtic culture is universal.
The Bog Oak is older than the Pyramids, the wood in the pen has rested for thousands of years in the bog waters absorbing the country’s very DNA. The blackness and grain pattern of this extraordinary wood is your certainty that each pen is unique, no two pens are the same or could be the same; it is not often you get the opportunity to hold something as rear or old in your hand every day. The beauty of Bog Oak is in its feel and colour, so to ensure we don’t mask that experience, we finish our pens in the same oils Irish Bog Oak sculptors use so you can experience every minute of the 5,000 years of history when you hold your pen.
As a personal or corporate gift, no other pen in the world is exactly like yours!
Sustainability is high on everyone’s agenda; using one of our handmade pens and only replacing the refill, you help the environment by not contributing to the BILLIONS of plastic biros that go to landfills every year.
Give one of our fountain pens with our ink pump, and the only thing you don’t use is the empty glass ink bottle that is recycled; how green is that!

Enhance your pen gift with an exceptional pen box. Our clients worldwide have asked us for a wooden gift/presentation box for our pens; as Rosewood is a protected species, we collaborated with a local expert cabinetmaker to craft a solid Irish Oak pen box.
