When it comes to refined German craftsmanship, few writing instruments match the feel and presence of Graf von Faber-Castell. Each collection reflects a different interpretation of the brand’s design language — from natural woods to engraved resins to segmented metalwork. Below is an overview of the three collections currently available at Art Brown International, with details to help you choose the writing instrument that suits your personal style.
The Classic Collection
The Classic Collection is the signature line of Graf von Faber-Castell — instantly recognizable by its finely fluted barrel, elegant silhouette, and noble finishing materials. These pens are crafted from slow-growing woods such as Ebony, Grenadilla, Pernambuco, and Macassar, in addition to fully platinum-plated or solid Sterling Silver variants. Natural grain and hand-finishing ensure that no two wooden models are identical.
Each Classic fountain pen is fitted with an 18-carat bicolor gold nib, polished and tested by hand to deliver an exceptionally smooth writing experience. Metal trims, precision threading, and German-engineered mechanisms create a pen that feels as luxurious as it looks.
Vibrant and contemporary, the Guilloche collection offers a more colorful interpretation of GvFC craftsmanship. Each barrel is made from precious resin that undergoes guilloché engraving, a process in which a repeating geometric pattern is cut into the surface. The pens are then hand-lacquered and polished through multiple stages, giving each color a rich, dimensional finish.
Metal components are finished with rhodium plating, titanium PVD, or rose gold, depending on the colorway. The result is a writing instrument that blends classic design with modern character — refined, but with a bold personality.
The Anello collection stands out through its distinctive segmented construction. The name “Anello” means “ring” in Italian — a reference to the series of finely engineered metal rings that separate each section of the barrel. These segments can be crafted from materials such as precious resin, wood, or metal, depending on the model.
The result is a writing instrument that feels sculptural and modern, with a slightly different tactile experience from the fluted or guilloché designs. Paired with Graf von Faber-Castell’s premium nibs and precision metalwork, the Anello becomes both a functional tool and a striking design piece.
