Natural sticks, compressed sticks, charcoal pencils and accessories — the four things a charcoal drawing actually needs.
in stock
The open tin with natural sticks, compressed charcoal, charcoal pencils and the accessories each in their own channel.
Description
The green Faber-Castell tin, printed since 1761 across the lid and 24 Pitt Charcoal Set on the inner label, with Finest Artists' Quality · Made in Germany along the bottom edge. Open it and the moulded tray holds four separate kinds of drawing material laid out in their own channels: pale natural sticks, black compressed sticks in two thicknesses, wood-cased charcoal pencils, and accessories including a Faber-Castell eraser in its own printed box.
What you are buying is not twenty-four of one thing — it is a complete charcoal system, and that is the only sensible reason to spend Rs. 11,700 on charcoal. Each of those four groups does a job the others cannot, and a charcoal drawing that works usually uses all four in a fixed order.
Natural charcoal is burnt twig. It is soft, grey rather than black, and it barely holds to the paper — which is exactly why it goes down first. You block the whole drawing in with it, and when the proportions are wrong you knock it off with a cloth and start again with no ghost left behind. Nothing else on the shelf lets you be that wrong that cheaply.
Compressed charcoal is powder pressed with a binder, and it is the opposite: dense, genuinely black, and it grips. It goes on late, into the shadows that have to stay dark, and it does not brush off. Charcoal pencils are the same material in a wooden case, sharpened to a point, and they exist because a stick cannot draw an eyelash. And the accessories are what makes charcoal a controllable medium at all — an eraser used as a drawing tool to pull light back out of a dark field, and a blender to push tone into the paper's tooth.
Being straight about the price: everything in that tin exists on this site far more cheaply if you want to build the same kit yourself. Willow charcoal sticks are Rs. 250 for six, a Cretacolor compressed stick is Rs. 260, a natural stick is Rs. 210 and a nine-piece blending accessories set is Rs. 3,000. What the tin buys instead is one German-made, matched set with a tray that keeps sticks from snapping against each other — which is a real thing, because loose charcoal in a pencil case turns to dust within a month.
Rs. 11,700 for the 24-piece tin. Charcoal work needs fixing when it is finished, and the fixative sprays stocked here are what stops a finished drawing smudging in a portfolio. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan.

FAQs
What is in the tin?
Twenty-four pieces across four groups: pale natural charcoal sticks, black compressed sticks in two thicknesses, wood-cased charcoal pencils, and accessories including a Faber-Castell eraser in its own printed box.
What is the difference between natural and compressed charcoal?
Grip. Natural charcoal in the Pitt Charcoal Set is burnt twig — soft, grey and easily knocked off, so it goes down first; compressed charcoal is powder and binder, dense, black and it stays.
Why does it cost so much more than loose charcoal?
Because it is a matched system rather than a material. Willow sticks are Rs. 250 for six on this site and a compressed stick is Rs. 260 — the Pitt Charcoal Set buys a German-made set and a tray that stops it breaking.
Is it a good first charcoal purchase?
Only if you already know you want charcoal. For a first try, a Rs. 250 box of willow sticks teaches the medium; the Pitt Charcoal Set is what you buy once you know you will use all four materials.
Do I need to fix a charcoal drawing?
Yes, if it will be handled. Charcoal sits on the paper as loose powder, so a finished drawing needs a fixative spray before it goes into a portfolio or a frame.
What paper does charcoal need?
Something with tooth. A smooth sheet gives charcoal nothing to hold onto, which is why a drawing on copier paper looks grey and slides about under the hand.
How should the tin be stored?
Flat and closed, with each piece back in its own channel. Charcoal sticks that roll loose in a tin chip their ends and eventually break in half.
Where is it made?
The tin is printed Made in Germany along its bottom edge, with Finest Artists' Quality beside it.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Pitt Charcoal Set 24 in Pakistan?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and many other cities.
How fast is delivery in Pakistan?
Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities, depending on courier route and city.
