Description

H145. Barbara Calzolari Special Oblique Holder.

Made to Barbara Calzolari's specifications to create a perfect and serviceable tool for the practice of writing Spencerian Script. The staff is slightly thicker than many similar holders. The flange is precisely cut and formed for the Nikko G nib (nib is included). The beautiful turned, cherry wood staff is finished with a natural transparent varnish; embellished with Barbara's initials in white. Made in Italy. With a pointed nib, use it as an oblique calligraphy pen for Copperplate, Engrosser's, and Spencerian Scripts, and for Modern Calligraphy.

    Game-changer

    Posted by Rachel on Mar 24th 2021

    This is truly a total game-changer. I've tried several oblique holders, including those made by Ziller, Turn of the Century, Chic Oblique, and Luis Creations (which I do love) - but oh my goodness, THIS IS IT.... the angle, feel, and performance is superb. I wasn't able to use Gillott 303 etc nibs, but now I finally can... the angle of the flange, and the perfect weight and feel of the holder, makes these nibs easy and a joy to use. Highly recommended.
