JACQUES HERBIN 1670 Anniversary Ink 50ml Violet Imperial
JACQUES HERBIN 15076The Jacques Herbin 1670 collection pays tribute to the remarkable legacy of Jacques Herbin Herbin, a French sailor from the 17th century whose adventures and discoveries continue to inspire. Celebrating 340 years of his enduring chronicles, this collection immerses you in a world of history, luxury, and inky wonders.
In the 17th century, Jacques Herbin embarked on voyages to India, where he sought out the finest formulas and ingredients for his sealing wax and inks. In 1700, he established his ink-making shop in Paris, introducing iconic series like the "Ink of Ships" and the "Jewel of Inks." The wax seal adorning the bottle is a nostalgic nod to the J. Herbin wax that once graced the finest French wines, the Grand cru.
Violet Imperial stands as the latest gem in the 1670 Anniversary collection, resplendent with bluish reflections and a multitude of sparkling shimmers. Historically, this color was a symbol of opulence and enigma, cherished by emperors and royal families. It was used by the Roman Emperor and his kin during their reign, invoking an aura of prestige and mystique.
King Louis XIV, the monarch under whom Jacques Herbin's legacy was born, adorned himself with this majestic hue during specific phases of his life, adding a touch of regal elegance to his attire.
