Preowned Graf von Faber Castell Pen of the year 2007 Petrified Wood

Fountain Pen of the Year 2007

The Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year 2007 continues the company's fascination with producing pens from rare and unique materials.

The Pen of the Year 2007 has a barrel made of petrified wood. Formed over a period of 360 million years as the wood is replaced with minerals and metals which retain the organic structure of the wood.

The petrified wood is that of ancient Brazilian hard woods sourced for their quality - that of a precious gemstone. The precious wood is pain-stakingly cut and polished by Andreas Crummenauer, the master craftsman of gemstone manifacturer Herbert Stephan.

The finely finished petrified wood is held in Graf von Faber-Castell's magnum-sized barrel, which, along with the cap and trim is platinum plated.

The nib is made of two-tone 18kt gold.

Each piece is individually numbered and comes in a luxurious gift box, along with a booklet documenting the edition.

This is a pre-owned pen that is fully functional and in very good condition, although it shows minor signs of use. It comes with the full set of box and documentation of this premium limited edition.
