The Jacques Herbin 1670 Turquoise de Perse turquoise ink has dazzling gold sheen. Each 50ml ink bottle cap is hand dipped in sealing wax, with a stamped “1670” seal on the front of the bottle, and is individually packaged in a collector edition box.
Jacques Herbin’s 1670 Collection celebrates the rich life and adventures of Herbin, an enterprising French sailor of the mid-17th century. While he was in the employ of the Compagnie des Indes Orientales, he made a number of voyages to India, collecting ingredients and formulas for his sealing wax and inks.
J. Herbin is the oldest name in pen inks in the world. M. Herbin created “The Jewel of Inks” in his shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain in Paris in 1700.
