Jean Pierre Lepine Calligraphy Set

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I just found a Jean Pierre Lepine calligraphy box set and as luck has it, I cannot find any information on it.

The set consists of 10 nibs, 1 wooden spiral grooved nib holder, 4 bottles of Herbin ink with what appears retro styling. All in a stained red hardwood box with a glass top. The box has the inscription"Jean Pierre Lepine, Paris on the front.

 

I was hoping someone could share their information with me and the board?

 

Please find a few pictures attached (not up to the usual standard on this board ;-( )

 

Thanks

Wow, what a lovely set. I know nothing about this particular collection, but I do know Lepine. VERY nice quality pens in general, IMHO. I just gave away my little Lepine Indigo yesterday, to one of my students who is just getting into FPs - she has some idea of the true value of the gift I just gave her, but not a full sense of it yet.

 

Congratulations on a nice find!

Yes it looks beautiful and the nib holder is certainly done to high standards.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
