A premier example of Victorian stationery from the legendary workshop of Sampson Mordan & Co. Known as the inventors of the mechanical pencil, Mordan’s dip pens were the choice of the 19th-century elite.
 
This elegant pen features a rare, hand-polished Agate shaft, providing a weighted, balanced feel that modern pens cannot replicate. Marked clearly with the "S. Mordan & Co" stamp, this piece likely lived in a high-end writing slope or desk set. Whether you are a calligrapher or a collector of "Deskalia," this Mordan pen is a piece of functional history.
