Yard O Led is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fine writing instruments, as well as one of the most historic craft workshops in Britain, with a history of over 200 years. Over the years, the Yard O Led portfolio expanded from pencils to pens, becoming masters of both. Today in the Birmingham workshop, a small number of dedicated craftsmen assemble and decorate every one of Yard O Led’s exquisite writing instruments by hand. Some of these masters have been with the company for over fifty years, and each brings their own distinctive style their work, making no pen or pencil exactly like any other.
Yard O Led has perfected traditional engraving methods, including engine-turning and hand-hammering, that have long been lost to many parts of the metalworking industry. These time-honoured techniques are used to create pens featuring their famous “Barley” and “Victorian” finishes on the exterior of the barrel. The former is a fine mesh pattern that is not just aesthetically pleasing – it also provides a flawless grip. The Victorian finish, meanwhile, comprises a delicate and sophisticated floral motif, faithful to the fashions of that bygone era.
