About This Pen

The Sovereign represents the culmination of Luxe Pens' 130-year heritage in crafting exceptional writing instruments. Each pen is meticulously hand-assembled by our master artisans in our London atelier, requiring over 40 hours of dedicated craftsmanship.

The body is crafted from the finest African ebony, hand-selected for its deep, lustrous grain patterns. Multiple layers of lacquer are applied and polished by hand, creating a mirror-like finish that develops a unique patina over years of use.

At the heart of The Sovereign lies an 18-karat gold nib, hand-ground and tested to ensure the perfect balance of flexibility and precision. The nib's iridium tip is carefully shaped to provide an exceptionally smooth writing experience, whether you prefer fine, medium, or broad strokes.

The filling mechanism employs our signature piston converter, allowing for generous ink capacity and the pleasure of using bottled inks from the world's finest ink houses.

A masterpiece of pen craftsmanship

I've collected fountain pens for over 20 years, and The Sovereign is simply the finest writing instrument I've ever owned. The nib is buttery smooth, the balance is perfect, and the ebony finish is absolutely stunning. Worth every penny.

As an author, I spend hours writing by hand. The Sovereign's ergonomic design and smooth nib make it a joy to use for extended periods. The weight distribution is ideal, and my hand never tires.

The pen arrived beautifully packaged and the craftsmanship is evident. The nib needed slight adjustment for my writing angle, but Luxe Pens' customer service handled it promptly. Now it writes perfectly.
