2003 Count von Faber-Castell SNAKEWOOD Pen of the Year Piston Filler F 18K
Special Edition 2003
As the first Special Edition, Faber-Castell chose a fountain pen with a piston mechanism and a body made of snakewood.
The characteristic grain of snake wood exerts a magical attraction, not only for the most expert. Reddish brown in color with a mottled pattern, it is among the most expensive and heaviest woods in the world. It is very decorative and is used to make violin bows and exclusive luxury objects.
Exceptional quality
The attractive combination of wood and metal provides a touch of subtle elegance. The wooden body harmonizes perfectly with the platinum-plated metal finishes, for example on the cap.
The year 2003 marks the start of a new series of special editions, which every year will present a new magnum version of the Graf von Faber-Castell fountain pen. Each edition is produced for one year only.
The Graf von Faber-Castell collection occupies a prominent place in the market for its natural elegance and careful craftsmanship. Another characteristic feature of the different pieces in the collection is the ribbed surface.

Graf Von Faber Castell Pen Of The Year 2009 horsehair fountain pen
2.800,00€An almost forgotten art
Making the highest quality horse hair weaving is an art that only a few master weavers have learned to master.
Few experts in Germany enjoy the status of Dorit Berger. “I always wanted to learn to spin. There is something magical about it. And the fascination has never left me ”. After thoroughly training as a master weaver, she discovered for herself the uniqueness of a material such as horse hair weft.Horse hair texture is quite a challenge. The hairs on the tail are relatively short and stiff and cannot be spun in a continuous skein. They can’t actually be braided in a conventional way.
To create the filigree design of the 2009 Special Edition, the hairs must be carefully selected for uniform color and thickness. It takes 70 individually woven hairs to get one centimeter of weft. It is an extraordinarily laborious task that goes hair by hair creating a braiding with a changing texture, light and dark, in surprising contrast to the warmth of the platinum-plated metal parts. As the nuances vary depending on the position of the piece, each horse fur fountain pen becomes a unique work of art.
