J. Herbin Violet Imperial 1670 Bottled Fountain Pen Ink – 50 ML

The 1670 inks celebrate the year in which Jacques Herbin was founded in the heart of Paris, originally to market sealing wax and later writing ink. With intense colors, the 1670 inks are illuminated with golden glitter. With a range of five luminous shades, Jacques Herbin is pleased to announce the 2022 launch of the new 1670 ink, Violet Imperial, with bluish reflections and a thousand sparkling shimmers, for the pleasure of your writing.

Because of the scarcity of dyes, this color, a symbol of luxury but also of mystery, was used by the Emperor and his family under the Roman Empire and then by the various royalties. King Louis XIV, under whom Jacques Herbin was founded, used it for his clothes during certain periods of his life.
This fresh and elegant color is currently very popular, particularly in decoration and design.
