Arden Pen Co / Ranges / Stratford
Fountain pen · 3 styles · from £80
If you've never used a fountain pen, start here — every Stratford comes with a converter and a cartridge, so you can fill from a bottle or just push a cartridge in and go. The nib is a proper size 6, not the tiny one you find on cheap pens, which is most of why these write the way they do.

Each of these is a single piece that already exists — no waiting, and no two alike. Sold pens are left up so you can see the range of what comes off the lathe.

Every model here can be turned in any of the materials I hold — timber, fordite, heritage resin or your own wood. Prices start from the figure shown and depend on what you choose to make it from.
from £80
Large in the hand, with a distinct three-piece decorative cap band. Classic and unfussy — the shape most people picture when they picture a fountain pen.
from £80
This model covers over fourteen different pen kits, with options too wide-ranging to list here. Select it and request a quote, and I'll be in touch to talk through what suits you.
from £90
The higher specification. Premium platings on exacting tolerances, with fifteen colour combinations once you factor in the accents.
From a customer
Absolutely beautiful hand made fountain pen, both to look at and write with. Personal service too as Mike added a left-handed nib.... These pens are a work of art and I'm really enjoying mine. It was so well packed too and was delivered quickly. Recommended as a perfect gift (or in my case a treat, as I have struggled getting a good left-handed pen in the past).
