11 or 17 slots: how to choose
Count the pens you want to keep on the tray and leave a few spaces free for future additions. Then think about where you will use it: the tray has no lid, so it works on a desk, in a drawer or inside a display cabinet.
| Tray | Slots | Key details |
|---|---|---|
| Birch tray with walnut finish | 11 individual slots | Solid birch wood, Italian velvet and padded satin lining |
| Velvet and moiré satin pen tray | 17 spaces | 3 mm padded base, Italian velvet in 18 colours, certificate of authenticity |
| MasterPhil pen tray in blue flock | 5 pens | Thermoformed, 10.5×17.5 cm: the smallest size |
What the padded base is for
Each pen sits in its own space and does not touch the one next to it. The padded moiré satin cradles both barrel and cap without pressure, while the velvet cushions knocks and friction when you place or pick up a pen.
- On the desk: everyday pens stay visible and within reach, without opening cases.
- In a drawer: the collection stays organised, and the tray can be lifted out whole whenever you want to look at it on a table.
- In a display cabinet: at home or in a shop, inside a closed cabinet, every pen is immediately visible and has its own fixed place.
Velvet colours and finishes
For the 17-space tray, choose the velvet from 18 colours to complement your décor or make your pens stand out. The 11-slot tray is in solid birch wood with a walnut finish, available in several versions: the product page for each one shows the version pictured. The 17-space trays come with a certificate of authenticity.
Pen tray, case or cabinet
The tray is open: it is ideal if you want to see and reach your pens every day. If you need a lid or want to carry them with you, take a look at pen cases and boxes. If your collection grows beyond a few dozen pieces, pen cabinets offer drawers lined in velvet. For a shop counter there are pen display stands.
Before deciding where to keep your finest pens, read how much a fountain pen is worth; all storage options are in the pens section.
