Metallic ink 1670 J.Herbin 50ml

• The 1670 Collection celebrates the rich life and adventures of Herbin , an enterprising French sailor in the mid-17th century. While working for the Compagnie des Indes Orientales, he made several trips to India, collecting ingredients and formulas for his inks and lacquers.
• Presented in a glass bottle with wax in the stopper for better sealing and a decorative sealing wax with string.
• No non-natural pigments are used, which prevents and helps the maintenance of our writing instruments.
• With each of them you get strokes with golden particles, visually very attractive and original.
• Available colors:
• - Imperial Violet: with bluish reflections and a thousand sparkling sparkles. Symbol of luxury but also of mystery used by the Emperor and his family under the Roman Empire and later by the different royalties.
• - Caroube of Cyprus: Carob pods were known for their therapeutic properties and were marketed throughout Europe as the "black gold of Cyprus". It is a dark brown ink with light red reflections and shiny golden effect.
• - Chivor Emerald: It is said that Herbin kept an emerald in his pocket during his travels as a good luck charm. One of the purest emerald deposits in the world, the Chivor mine in the Andes was discovered in the mid-16th century by Spanish conquistadors. It is an elegant emerald green ink with golden flecks.
• - Stormy Gray: Stormy seas are the inspiration for the ink. On his many voyages, Herbin encountered dark and wild oceans. The fine golden flecks in the ink are meant to invoke both the lightning on the water and its dark, mysterious depths.
• - Blue Ocean: The deep blue ink with a golden sheen recalls Herbin's sea voyages to the Mughal Empire of India. In those days, India was the main supplier of indigo dye.
• - Red Hematite: With a dark red color and earthy tone, Rouge Hematite ink is a reminder of the historic color of the Herbin logo and the sealing wax used by members of the royal courts.
• Quantity: 50 ml.
