◆ Product DERWENT Derwent Colored Pencils ARTISTS 72-piece set Wooden box included Oil-based colored pencils from the historic British art supply brand "DERWENT." The ARTISTS series features a slightly harder core and muted, natural colors. Fine details can be achieved by sharpening the core. Stored in a sturdy wooden box. ◆ Condition Purchased approximately 20 years ago. Used for test swatches once or twice, but not to my liking, so they were stored in an art bag for a long time. I tested all the colors before listing, and the cores are not particularly brittle, and the color transfer to paper is fine. Although it depends on personal preference, I think these colored pencils are perfect for those who like to create smooth surfaces with a hard core. A few pencils were sharpened by hand, but most have not been used. I put them back in the box after the test swatches, so the tips are rounded or flat. I will leave them as is, as sharpening them might cause the tips to break during shipping. Also, some pencils have a white film of oil on the core, but I wiped it off during the test swatches. Some still remain, but if you are concerned, please sharpen them lightly before use. The wooden box is probably the old type. The surface of the box and the trays inside are glossy and in good condition for their age, but there are fine scratches and stains. I think the stains can be removed with a scraper, but I'm afraid of causing further damage, so I will leave them as they are. The clasps and hinges are rust-free and move smoothly. ※ There is a smoker in the family, and we have indoor pets. ◆ Comments Immediate purchase is welcome if you have no questions.
