As such, writing paraphernalia over history has often reflected the power and position of the person putting said tool to use. Indeed, Charles Dickens’ mammoth 19th-century mahogany writing desk was sold to an anonymous buyer for $850,000 at Christie’s London in June 2008. Arthur Conan Doyle was known to have used a Parker Duofold Classic to write his iconic detective novels, a fountain pen that retails today for £389.95, and you only have to catch a glimpse at the Roentgen writing desk to know they were crafted with royalty in mind.
