Graf von Faber-Castell Guilloche Cisele Fountain Pen

Guilloches - ornamental patterns of fine, engraved lines - originally adorned precious watches and accessories such as the legendary Fabergé eggs. Graf von Faber-Castell uses this traditional jewelling technique to transform the writing instruments in the Guilloche series into true pieces of jewellery: The precious resin barrel is given a filigree pattern line by line and then further refined in manual lacquering and polishing processes. The Guilloche models are available in many expressive colour variations, as well as in a rhodium-plated finish.

The writing instruments in the Guilloche collection are manufactured of rhodium, a precious metal with an extremely rigid and hard-wearing surface. The barrel of this fountain pen is made of mattbrown resin, on which afishbone motif is engraved, according to a method otherwise reserved for jewellery or silver accessories. The glossy polished black surface contrasts with the matt engraving, causing the writing instrument to look differently in every lighting.
