The New Collector’s Guide to The Markov Studio
The Essentials:
- Once a pen is gone, it is gone.
- No commissions. No requests. No repeats. No exceptions.
- Pens are made available when they are ready. There is no schedule.
- The newsletter is notified of new pen releases first.
- Process, work-in-progress, and studio notes are posted on social media. I don’t check private messages for safety reasons, but public comments are enthusiastically welcomed. [Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Threads]
The Basics
- Every pen is handcrafted, one-of-a-kind, and individually listed on the website. The pen you see is the exact pen you’re getting.
- All pens are handcrafted by Abigail Markov.
- All of the body material (the colorful part) is hand-cast by Markov, in house, in limited batches.
- Most of the metal work is also handcrafted in house.
- All pens come in gift boxes/tubes.
- All pens come with repairs (stemming from failure of workmanship ) included, at no charge.
- Repairs from accidents and wear & tear are evaluated on a case by case basis.
