Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Fountain Pen Pernambuco

The fountain pens, roller balls, mechanical pencils and ballpoint pens in the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection are designed as matching sets and available in several variants. All four are available in reddish brown Pernambuco wood, matte black Ebony, dark brown Grenadilla wood or in a platinum-plated version.

All three precious woods – the Pernambuco which is normally used for violin bows, the very dark Ebony, as well as the Grenadilla wood – are extremely hard and durable, and correspondingly difficult to work. Due to their slow growth, the certified exotic woods are very tough and therefore time-consuming in their manufacture. The natural variations in grain and colouring mean that every writing implement made from them is unique. The warmth of the exotic woods is accentuated by the platinum-plated metal cap that completes the fountain pen and roller ball pen. The cap is decorated with the Graf von Faber-Castell coat of arms that can also be found on the end-cap of the propelling pencil and ballpoint pen.

The matte-silver gloss of the Platinum-Plated version develops a lovely patina with frequent use.

Featuring a cartridge/converter system with 18k gold bi colour nib ‘run in’ by hand, the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection Pernambuco Fountain Pen is available in six nib widths.
