Palace of Westminster Wood Pen

Own a true piece of history, with our Palace of Westminster pen.

The body of this handcrafted pen is made from Old English Oak removed from the Palace of Westminster during its renovation in 1860. It has been handcrafted and lovingly repurposed into a stunning pen that will bring many more years of joy to the owner.

Choose from either a traditional fountain pen, with its classic silhouette and elegant flow, or modern ballpoint pen with smooth gliding action. Both offer premium hardware which ensure the quality of this pen will last for many years.

Alternatively, opt for our first-class upgrades that include 24k gold or platinum nib options, available on the custom pen page.

Every Wig and Pens fountain pen accepts standard short ink cartridges. We also include a converter with your fountain pen to enable you to load the pen with bottled ink.

History of the Palace of Westminster

The Palace of Westminster serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and The House of Lords, the two Houses of Parliament of the United Kingdom. The original Palace was destroyed by a huge fire in 1834.

The new replacement and current Palace of Westminster began construction in 1840 with an estimated construction time of just six years and an estimated cost of £724,986, the rebuild in fact took more than 30 years at a cost of over £2 million.
