Caroube de Chypre is intense and deep brown with a hint of red, and of course its gold specks. It is said that J. Herbin was very fond of dried carob pods and that is the reason he lived so long! As the other merchants sailing the Mediterranean sea, he would pick them up in Cyprus, on his way back home. The carob bean is the fruit of the carob tree and was cultivated in the Mediterranean countries since ancient times. Carob pods are known for their great therapeutic properties and were marketed throughout Europe as the “black gold of Cyprus”. 

Emerald Of Chivor - J. Herbin is said to have kept an emerald in his pocket during his voyages as a good luck charm. These precious gemstones have been treasured for centuries as protective talismans. One of the purest emerald deposits in the world, the Chivor mine was discovered in the middle of the16th century by Spanish conquistadors.

Chivor emeralds were much in demand, and the emperors and royalty of India, Turkey and Persia sought the New World treasures once the gems arrived in Europe. Emeralds were enormously popular with the Mughal Court, whose emperors referred to them as “Tears of the Moon” because of their opaque transparency. This beautiful emerald green blue ink contains a red sheen with gold flecks throughout, enhancing your writing with an elegance and beauty that is unmatched by other 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.

Care Instructions

1. DO NOT post the cap onto the back of the pen when writing. Our pen has been designed and balanced to write with the cap un-posted. Don't worry, the nut shaped cap will prevent it from rolling away
2. The threads of the cap are brass so they can damage the finish of the paint if you post the cap
3. Store pen vertically with the tip pointing upwards when not in use to minimize clogging
4. The brass is designed to patina and age gracefully over time, and consistent use will ensure the finish stays brilliant. However, you can also use standard brass cleaner to restore the finish.
   

Filling your Brush Fountain Pen

1. Unwind the grip from the barrel of the pen to reveal the converter
2. Pull the converter off of the grip assembly
3. Clean your nib and converter by rinsing it in cold water until water runs clear
4. If the pen has not been in use for a few weeks, you may need to submerge the nib for an hour to loosen up the ink
5. Air dry the nib and converter and reassemble when fully dry
6. Twist the end knob until the piston is fully depressed
7. Submerge the entire nib into the ink, and SLOWLY twist the piston to draw the ink until the converter is fully extended
8. It is normal to have some small air pockets at the top of the converter.
