Faber-Castell Polygrades Lothar von Faber Limited Edition Gift Set

On the occasion of what would have been Lothar von Farben’s 200th birthday, Faber-Castell introduced this exclusive and limited edition gift set with 12 Polygrades graphite pencils (5B – 5H). The company can thank Polygrades for beginning their global renown when it was launched in Paris in 1837.

The edition shown is as close as possible to the historic original: The silky, shiny pencils lie neatly in their packaging and the golden stamp with the company‘s logo appears flush left. They are unsharpened because back then, they were cut to the correct shape by the user with a knife. The graphite leads were originally square-shaped but here they are round – a small compromise that had to be made for manufacturing reasons.

Original price was: R223.60.Current price is: R178.88.
