Why celluloid matters
Celluloid is the material of the golden age of fountain pens. It has a depth and warmth that modern acrylics rarely match, and it is prized by collectors for its soft, almost silky feel in the hand. Celluloid can also mellow subtly with daily use, so your Damask will develop its own character over the years.
A pattern from the loom
Damask is a reversible woven fabric with intricate, tone-on-tone figures, once reserved for royal courts and grand homes. Laban's Damask colourway echoes those natural dyes and textures, with deep forest green and purple swirling under the surface and creamy ivory framing them like the border of a fine tapestry.
Built on the 325 platform
The 325 has a classic, flat-topped silhouette with a gold Laban medallion on the cap. The screw cap posts firmly, the section is comfortable to hold, and the overall weight of about 34g makes it substantial without being tiring.
Writing with the Damask
- German-made #6 Jowo nib, gold-plated, engraved with '3952' for Mount Jade
- Smooth, reliable flow from a proven nib-and-feed unit
- Converter included for bottled ink; also accepts international cartridges
- Try a deep green or burgundy ink to echo the barrel
Frequently asked questions
Is the whole pen celluloid?
The barrel is celluloid; the ivory cap, grip section and barrel end are acrylic.
Why does the Damask cost more than other 325s?
Celluloid is harder to work and more expensive than acrylic, which is reflected in the price.
How should I care for celluloid?
Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight and heat, and store it capped in a pen case when not in use.
