Iron Gall Ink - Traditional Regency Writing Ink (15ml)

Used by writers for centuries - including in Jane Austen’s time - iron gall ink was the standard ink for letters, diaries, and manuscripts throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Our handmade Rousy Iron Gall Ink follows a time-honoured recipe using just a few essential ingredients to recreate the qualities of true period ink.

Ideal for dip pens and quill use.

Pale grey when first applied, the ink darkens as it dries - oxidising to a rich, permanent black over several hours.

Whether you’re writing a Regency-style letter, recreating historical correspondence, or exploring early 19th-century calligraphy, this ink delivers a beautifully authentic experience - just as Jane Austen would have known it.
