Jacques Herbin 1670 Violet Impérial Ink 50 ml
Jacques Herbin Violet Impérial. A touch of gold in every word.
Some inks are simply made for writing. Others make
the act of writing feel special. Violet Impérial
by Jacques Herbin belongs to the latter. Its
expressive violet colour reveals subtle bluish
undertones, while fine golden shimmer particles
add an unexpected play of light.
Depending on the paper, writing instrument and
angle of illumination, the colour can appear deep
and mysterious or bright and vibrant. The golden
accents give handwritten words an individual
character without overwhelming the rich violet
shade.
The square glass bottle features a violet cap, a
golden cord and a wax seal finished by hand in the
company workshops. It is a beautiful object in its
own right, evoking the elegance of handwritten
correspondence and traditional stationery.
Violet Impérial is a lovely choice for personal
letters, invitations, journaling and calligraphy.
The ink is suitable for compatible fountain pens,
refillable rollerball pens, glass dip pens and
traditional dip pens. Its golden shimmer becomes
particularly noticeable when the ink is applied
generously.
Whether chosen for a personal ink collection, as a
thoughtful gift or for everyday correspondence,
Violet Impérial celebrates the pleasure of writing
by hand.
Our atelier in Hamburg-Lokstedt, Germany, can also
be visited by prior appointment.
