Graf von Faber Castell Guilloche India Red Fountain Pen

The coloured Guilloche writing instruments made of precious resin are distinguished by a special process. Each one is engraved individually using a method otherwise reserved for jewellery or silver accessories. The barrel is then repeatedly lacquered and polished by hand. The result is a unique and most interesting surface texture: no two writing implements are identical: each is an individual example of the craftsman’s art.
