Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Thuja Burl Wood Fountain pen

Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Thuja Burl Wood Fountain Pen – Natural Elegance and German Craftsmanship

The Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Thuja Burl Wood Fountain Pen introduces an exceptional natural material to one of the German manufacturer’s most recognizable writing instrument collections. Crafted from beautifully patterned thuja burl wood, the pen combines the timeless silhouette of the Graf von Faber-Castell Classic with warm brown tones, distinctive natural grain and highly polished platinum-plated details. Because every piece of wood develops its own individual pattern, each writing instrument has a unique appearance, bringing together the precision of German craftsmanship and the unmistakable character of a natural material.

Rare Thuja Burl Wood from the Atlas Mountains

At the heart of this new Graf von Faber-Castell Classic is thuja burl wood, a rare, highly fragrant and exotic wood associated with the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The burl is particularly appreciated for its rich warm-brown coloration and lively, intricate grain, giving every fountain pen subtle differences in pattern and character. Graf von Faber-Castell carefully inspects the wood before it proceeds to assembly, ensuring that the natural material meets the standards expected from the prestigious Classic collection. The combination of organic wood and precisely manufactured metal components creates an elegant contrast between nature and refined engineering.

Platinum-Plated Details and the Iconic Classic Design

The Thuja Burl Wood edition retains the elegant proportions and unmistakable geometry that have made the Graf von Faber-Castell Classic collection internationally recognizable. The naturally patterned wooden barrel is complemented by platinum-plated metal components that are highly polished to a mirror-like finish, creating a sophisticated contrast with the deep brown tones of the thuja burl. The result is a luxurious fountain pen that feels traditional without appearing old-fashioned, combining understated European elegance with the tactile beauty of genuine wood.

Handmade 18K Bicolor Gold Nib in Six Nib Sizes

The Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Thuja Burl Wood Fountain Pen is fitted with a handmade 18-carat bicolor gold nib, complementing the premium materials used throughout the writing instrument. The fountain pen is available in six nib widths: Extra Fine (EF), Fine (F), Medium (M), Broad (B), Oblique Medium (OM) and Oblique Broad (OB). This extensive selection makes it possible to choose anything from a precise nib for smaller handwriting and everyday notes to broader and oblique nibs for a more expressive writing style. The use of an 18-carat bicolor gold nib is also a defining distinction of the fountain pen within the wider Thuja Burl Wood collection.

Cartridge and Converter Filling System

For convenient everyday use, the Graf von Faber-Castell Classic Thuja Burl Wood Fountain Pen uses a cartridge/converter filling system. This allows the writer to choose between practical ink cartridges or a wide selection of bottled fountain pen inks when using a converter. Measuring 137 mm when closed and weighing 37 grams, the pen combines substantial materials with the refined proportions characteristic of the Classic collection, making it equally suited to regular writing and inclusion in a collection of fine writing instruments.

About Graf von Faber-Castell

In 1761, Kaspar Faber started to produce pencils in Stein, near Nuremberg. When the fourth generation,Baron Lothar von Faber, took over the company in 1839 he turned the pencil into a true quality product and the world's first branded writing instrument. Over the centuries, he and his descendants created remarkable products. The result is the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection, a range of extraordinary writing instruments and accessories. They embody "Luxury in Simplicity" by combining selected materials, functionality and superb aesthetics.
