Graf Von Faber Castell Pen Of The Year 2007 pertrified wood fountain pen
2.900,00€Precious like diamond
The use of petrified wood to make the body of a fountain pen is an unusual twist on the history of magnificent woods in the Graf von Faber-Castell collection.
The Brazilian frond wood was specially selected based on its resistance for high quality carving. Unique in the way it blends hues, this striking petrified wood fuses changing shades of color. Tonalities that flow from light brown and go through anthracite gray to lead to an intense black where the veins are almost imperceptible.
The deep but understated luster of this exceptional stone creates a feeling that lasts over time.

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.
