J. Herbin 1798 Collection Fountain Pen Ink - Cornaline d'Egypte

This 50mL glass bottle of Jacques Herbin 1798 Cornaline d'Egypte fountain pen ink is a deep orange colour reminiscent of the semi-precious gemstone carnelian. A silver mist provides a lustrous shimmering and sheen effect. Each bottle cap is hand dipped in sealing wax, with a stamped "1798" seal on the front of the bottle, and is individually packaged in a collector edition box.

The ancient Egyptians considered carnelian to be one of the most calming and healing semi-precious gemstones. It was believed to elevate the mood, eliminate stress and was used as a symbol of life.

1798 commemorates a significant year in Jacques Herbin's history. At this time, the French Revolution was ending, and the Herbin company, founded in 1670, was growing. In 1798 the company relocated to expand their production capabilities and the influence of their inks and sealing wax.

Full bottles come with box

The 3mL ink samples contained in a plastic vial with an o-ring to ensure a proper seal.
