Graf von Faber-Castell POTY 2016 'Schloss Schönbrunn' Fountain Pen

Graf von Faber-Castell has released a wonderful and unique writing instrument as the Pen Of The Year 2016.

Black, masterly-painted lacquer panels placed in panelling made from flamed maple and set with a gilded frame have adorned the Vieux-Laque Room in Schönbrunn Palace since 1770. Here you will find a special expression of the deep love between Maria Theresa and Francis Stephen in craftsmanship perfected over thousands of years – lacquer art.

This story is the inspiration for the Pen of the Year. Both editions come with an 18-carat, bicolour gold nib that is run in by hand. An end-cap protects the rotary knob of the plunger mechanism of the plunger-type fountain pen.
