With a company history of 260 years, Faber-Castell is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world currently run by the 9th generation. The current company name originated in 1898 when the then heiress, Freiin Ottilie von Faber, married Count Alexander zu Castell-Rüdenhausen. While the focus was on the production of pencils in 1761, the traditional company today offers a broad portfolio of high-quality products in the areas of "writing, drawing and creative design".
To mark the anniversary, Graf von Faber-Castell is presenting an exclusive interpretation of the perfect pencil - the classic that can write, sharpen and erase. The pencil is deep black, the PVD coating of its metal parts is anthracite-colored. The cap is decorated with engraved stylized pencils and an artfully faceted jade stone shines in the cap head.
In Far Eastern mythology, the green shimmering gemstone stands for both lived tradition and a promising future - which I wish you from the bottom of my heart!
