Luscious and Earthy are not often words you associate with a fountain pen, but the combination of ancient bog oak and a provocative dark smoky smooth pen trim with its touch of gold creates an aura of satisfaction of being the owner of a Shannon Eclipse fountain pen. The Eclipse pens exquisite styling is enriched by the Peter Bock gold and polished steel bi-colour nib we install ensuring this fountain pen delivers a total sensuous writing experience.
our Shannon fountain pen range is named after the largest river in Ireland, this fountain pen will impress any connoisseur of fountain pen writing. The pen, like a river of ink, carries the thoughts and creativity of its user from their consciousness to paper effortlessly.
Resting on a writing desk, nestled in a notebook or sitting staunchly on a writing pad on a meeting or board room table this Shannon fountain pens design and the detail in the wood we used make it unique, a gift that will impress its user and will be noticed by those who see it in use. The gift you gave will be remembered every time this fountain pen is held and its ink flows.
We have crafted the pen using bog oak older than the Pyramids, this pen is more than 5,000 years in the making! We do not rush things in Ireland! 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 special oils that Bog Oak sculptors use to capture the essence of every minute of the 5,000 years of history in this pen.
The Shannon Eclipse fountain pen is fitted with a size 6 medium tip Peter Bock German manufactured bi-colour size 6 nib, this ensures a smooth writing experience even for the fussiest of fountain pen users.
The fountain pen ink flows from an international standard-sized ink cartridge, easily available from all stationery shops around the world. Available on this site also.
We also provide an ink pump with the pen, this pump allows bottled ink to be used in the pen, simply fill the pump with your favourite bottled ink and insert it into the pen and you’re ready to write.
