Description
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.
Violet Impérial is a purple ink with bluish reflections and a thousand sparkling shimmers.
The 50ml bottle is sealed with the famous J. Herbin supple wax.
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.

Love these shimmer inks but learned the hard way not to use them in an EF pen. Works a treat in my M pelikans though.
