We are pleased to introduce you to Patience. This newest addition to our desk accessories collection is your new desk buddy, friend, and confidant. Oh, and most importantly, a pen rest!

Our antique brass tortoise sits elegantly on your desk, holding any of your prized pens where you can easily admire them. It also serves as a reminder that if we are methodical and steady, we will emerge triumphant and that having a little fortitude can make all the difference.

We’ve created this small, but mighty protector of your daily writers whether you require some patience, or you think it would make the perfect gift and sentiment for someone else.

Patience will hold three pens and has a shell caddy for ink cartridges, paper clips, whatever you wish. All of this and a virtue to boot. Who could ask for more?

“It doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you don’t stop.”-Confucious
