J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary Bottled Ink in Rouge Hematite - 15 mL

Celebrate centuries of fine writing with J. Herbin 1670 Rouge Hématite, a richly expressive dark red ink inspired by the historic roots of the Herbin name. In the early 1700s, M. Herbin created what he called the “Jewel of Inks” in his Paris shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain, establishing J. Herbin as the oldest name in fine pen inks in the world.

Part of the 1670 Anniversary Ink Collection, Rouge Hématite reflects the adventurous spirit of Jacques Herbin, a 17th-century French sailor whose travels brought ink and sealing wax formulas back to Paris. This deep, earthy red recalls the historic color of the J. Herbin logo and the sealing wax once used by members of royal courts. Subtle metallic shimmer adds depth and luminosity, evoking the elegance of traditional wax seals and grand cru wine closures.

Crafted with all-natural dyes and a pH-neutral formula, Rouge Hématite delivers a smooth, refined writing experience for fountain pens. Presented in a 15 mL glass bottle sealed with hand-dipped wax, this anniversary ink blends heritage, artistry, and timeless Parisian craftsmanship.

Bring history, richness, and classic elegance to your writing with J. Herbin 1670 Rouge Hématite.
