The 1670 Collection celebrates the rich life and adventures of Herbin, an enterprising French sailor of the mid-17th century. While he was in the employ of the Compagnie des Indes Orientales, he made a number of voyages to India, collecting ingredients and formulas for his sealing wax and inks.
Stormy seas are the inspiration for Herbin’s 1670 ink, “Stormy Grey.” Its color is a deep coal grey (anthracite) with flecks of gold. On his many voyages, Herbin encountered dark and wild oceans. The fine golden flecks in the ink are meant to invoke both strikes of lightening across the water, and also its dark and mysterious depths.
Specifications:
  • 50 ml glass bottle
  • hand-dipped wax cap
  • grey color with golden flecks
  • Note: this ink is not fast-drying
 
Herbin Gris Orage is a dark stormy grey shimmer ink with a gold shimmer. The ink takes a while to dry and is partially water-resistant. There is no feathering, medium show-through, no bleeding, no shading, no sheen, and a gold shimmer. Shimmer shows up less in finer nibs. Before purchasing shimmer inks, ensure that you know how they work as they are different to regular inks.
