Lyra: German Pencil & Drawing Supplies Since 1806
Founded in 1806 by pencilmaker Johann Froescheis in Nuremberg, Germany, Lyra are one of the oldest pencil manufacturers in the world. For over 200 years, Lyra have been creating art supplies that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
In 1868, Johann Froescheis II registered the brand ‘Lyra’, making it one of the oldest pencil brand trademarks globally. By the early 1900s, the company was producing over one million pencils weekly, establishing themselves as a major force in the industry.
Today, Lyra pencils are celebrated for their exceptional quality and performance. The brand's flagship product line includes professional-grade options that cater to both artists and students.
One of their most popular ranges is the Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencil. These premium oil-based coloured pencils lay down smoothly with no wax build-up. They blend and overlay easily for unlimited colour possibilities. Rembrandt Polycolor pencils feature a 4mm wide oil-based core that allows smooth colour application and easy blending to create unique hues and values.
Lyra proudly represents Germany's oldest pencil factory, supplying top quality products and first-class service for more than two centuries. Whether you're a beginner or professional artist, Lyra pencils provide the reliability and performance needed to bring your vision to life.
