Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year

The Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year series, inaugurated in 2003, is renowned for its annual limited editions that blend exceptional craftsmanship with historical and cultural themes. Each pen features an 18-carat gold nib and is crafted from rare materials, reflecting the brand's dedication to artistry and storytelling.

The series began with the "Nature's Luxury" collection (2003–2012), showcasing materials like snakewood, amber, stingray leather, and mammoth ivory. In 2014, the focus shifted to the "Pillars of History" series, drawing inspiration from significant historical periods and figures, such as the Catherine Palace, Vikings, Samurai, and the Roman Empire. 

Collectors highly value these pens for their intricate designs and limited availability, making them highly sought-after.
