Parker Sonnet Black Lacquer Set - Fountain Pen & Ballpoint with Leather Parker Pouch

The Classic Parker Set in Timeless Black
The Parker Sonnet: A Modern Classic Since 1994

Designed by renowned designer Geoff Hollington, the Parker Sonnet was created to be 'the classic Parker'—a truly timeless writing instrument honoring Parker’s 135+ year heritage while embracing contemporary elegance. With its perfectly proportioned cigar shape, refined arrow clip, and exceptional writing performance, the Sonnet became one of Parker’s most beloved and successful modern designs.

The Black Lacquer Finish: Timeless Sophistication
The classic Black Lacquer Sonnet embodies Parker elegance at its purest. Multiple layers of deep black lacquer over brass create a lustrous 'piano black' finish that radiates professional sophistication. Paired with gold trim, this combination has become synonymous with executive presence and refined taste—equally suitable in boardrooms, signing ceremonies, or distinguished collections.

Complete Writing Set
Fountain Pen:
• 18K gold nib or stainless steel nib (depending on generation)
• Cartridge/converter filling system
Only inked once - essentially unused.
Perfect black lacquer finish
23K gold plated trim
Ballpoint Pen:
Smooth twist mechanism
Lightly used, excellent condition
Matching black lacquer finish
23K gold plated trim
No damage or wear.

Includes Leather Parker Pouch
Authentic leather Parker pouch offers premium protection and portability—these elegant accessories are increasingly rare and add significant value to any Parker set.
Near-Mint
✓ Fountain pen inked once only - pristine condition
✓ Ballpoint lightly used - no visible wear or damage
✓ Both pens feature perfect black lacquer finishes
✓ 23K gold plating immaculate throughout
✓ All mechanisms function smoothly
✓ Leather Parker pouch included

The Sonnet Design Excellence
Brass body construction with multiple lacquer layers — substantial, quality feel.
• 23-Carat Gold Plated Trim - including Parker’s iconic arrow clip
Refined cigar shape - perfectly balanced and comfortable
Made in France (if early generation) - premium manufacturing
Precision click-cap mechanism - secure posting
Timeless design — as elegant today as when introduced.

Market Position
Complete sets command premiums over individual pens. The Black Lacquer finish remains the most sought-after classic Sonnet color, and near-mint condition sets with original accessories are increasingly valuable.

Why this set deserves your collection
The Classic Choice
Black Lacquer Sonnets are the quintessential Parker professional pen—recognized worldwide as symbols of quality and taste. This matching set offers both the elegance of fountain pen writing and the convenience of a ballpoint in coordinated sophistication.

Practical Luxury
The included leather Parker pouch makes this set immediately usable—carry either pen protected, or gift the complete set in its elegant pouch. The near-mint condition ensures decades of reliable service ahead.

Investment Value
Parker Sonnet sets, particularly in classic Black Lacquer with gold trim, maintain strong collector interest. Early French-made examples and complete sets with accessories appreciate steadily as Parker’s modern production focuses on simpler offerings.

Perfect For:
✓ Parker collectors seeking classic Sonnet sets ✓ Professionals wanting coordinated writing instruments ✓ Gift-givers seeking elegant, complete pen sets ✓ Those appreciating timeless black lacquer designs ✓ Writers wanting fountain and ballpoint options ✓ Collectors of premium Parker accessories

Timeless Parker elegance—fountain pen and ballpoint in matching sophistication, ready to write the next chapter.
