Discover Herbin's "Rouge 1670" ink, a gem of history not to be missed

For 340 years, Maison Herbin has been perpetuating the art of crafting exceptional inks. To celebrate this anniversary, the legendary brand is offering a unique ink, "Rouge 1670," which will delight calligraphy and fountain pen enthusiasts.

The fascinating history of Maison Herbin

Founded in 1670 in Paris, a stone's throw from the towers of Notre-Dame, the Herbin Company has survived the centuries to become a world leader in the production of quality inks. Napoleon Bonaparte and his son, the King of Rome, were already using these renowned inks during the First Empire.

During the 19th century, Herbin participated in major international exhibitions, such as the one in London in 1823, where the company received medals for the exceptional quality of its inks and waxes. Today, Herbin inks are still recognized worldwide for their unique expertise.

An exceptional ink for the brand's 340th anniversary

To celebrate this historic anniversary, Herbin has designed a specially dedicated ink: "Rouge 1670" ink. Packaged in a 50 ml glass bottle, this ink is ideal for all uses: dip pen, fountain pen, quill pen, reed pen, or brush.

The bottle's cap is covered with red sealing wax, and a "1670" wax seal decorates each copy, for a touch of authenticity and nobility. Made in France, this ink is a true tribute to the history of Maison Herbin.

The secrets of making "Red 1670" ink

Like all Herbin inks, "Rouge 1670" ink is the result of ancestral know-how and an exceptional demand for quality. To reveal all its richness, a few simple steps are necessary.

First, it is recommended to "warm" the bottle by squeezing it between your hands. This will help bring out the shimmering glitter that gives this ink its unique appearance.

Next, it's best to quickly use a pipette to collect the ink. This will prevent the glitter from settling at the bottom of the bottle and help maintain a consistent density throughout the writing process.

Finally, it is important to never mix this "Red 1670" ink with any other ink, in order to preserve all its properties. And if you don't use your pen for a few days, remember to empty it, clean the converter and add fresh ink.

An ink with multiple uses

Thanks to its exceptional formulation, Herbin's "Rouge 1670" ink can be used with a wide variety of writing instruments. Whether it's a dip pen, fountain pen, quill pen, or even a reed pen or brush, this ink will adapt to all your needs.

Ideal for calligraphy, it will bring your most beautiful creations to life, with its deep red and sparkling glitter. But it will be just as effective for everyday use, in your correspondence or personal notes.

An ink that makes you dream

Beyond its technical qualities, Herbin's "Rouge 1670" ink has something magical about it. It embodies the history and expertise of an exceptional company that has survived the centuries to perpetuate the art of writing.

By choosing this ink, you become the custodian of a unique heritage. Each stroke of the pen, each letter written, becomes a link to this long tradition of prestigious ink. A way to give your writing a historical and emotional dimension.

So don't hesitate any longer, let yourself be tempted by Herbin's "Rouge 1670" ink. A gem of history not to be missed to celebrate the 340th anniversary of this legendary house in style.
