Sophisticated Black and Rose Gold Design for the Modern Writer
 
The Laban Antique II in Black and Antique Rose Gold is more than just a fine writing instrument; it is a statement of taste and history. Featuring a striking contrast between its deep black body and warm rose gold accents, this pen utilizes simple geometric lines to create an iconic, retro look. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a beginner looking for a professional gift, its timeless torpedo silhouette appeals to every generation of pen lover.
 
Sustainability meets luxury in this eco-friendly pen. Constructed from recycled brass, the Antique II is a conscious choice for those who value the planet as much as their prose. The weighted feel of the metal body provides a steady, high-end writing experience that plastic alternatives simply cannot match. This design carries a historical weight as well, being the retro successor to the signature pen used by Pope Benedict XVI during his 2009 visit to Israel.
 
Functionality is at the heart of the Antique II. Equipped with a reliable #5 nib and a feed assembly that can be easily disassembled for thorough cleaning, this brass fountain pen is built for longevity. The smooth metal grip ensures comfort during long journaling sessions, while the secure screw-on cap—which can be posted for added length—makes it the perfect everyday carry pen.
