The beauty of burl wood
A burl is a rounded outgrowth on a tree where the grain twists and folds on itself. When it is cut and polished, it reveals a lively, marbled pattern in warm brown tones. No two pieces are alike, so the pen you hold has a grain pattern that belongs to you alone.
A luxury heritage since 1761
Faber-Castell has been crafting writing instruments in Stein, near Nuremberg, since 1761, and in 1993 Count Anton-Wolfgang von Faber-Castell launched Graf von Faber-Castell as the family's luxury line. The Classic collection is its signature: fluted precious-wood barrels, platinum-plated metal and a solid, spring-loaded clip. Thuja burl joins the classic woods of the line, such as ebony, Pernambuco and grenadilla, as one of its most expressive finishes.
Writing with the Classic ballpoint
A smooth twist of the barrel brings the tip forward, and the large-capacity refill writes a confident, even line page after page. The slim 9mm profile sits elegantly in the hand, while the metal fittings give it a balanced, reassuring weight of about 30g.
Who it is for
- Executives who want a signature pen with natural character
- Collectors of Graf von Faber-Castell's Classic woods
- Gift buyers looking for a truly individual luxury present
Frequently asked questions
