Ambre de la Baltique (The Essentials) - 50ml grey inks The AdaptorEstablished in Paris in 1670 when King Louis XIV was 32 years old the Maison HERBIN initially specialised in the sealing wax, fine stationery and ink trade, and imported shellac from India. In 1798 the Maison changed tack and put its faith in the future: whilst continuing to produce wax and engage in the paper and color (pigments) trade, it launched production of its own writing ink on the initiative of JACQUES HERBIN, member of the fourth generation.
