Metal box with six colours in 5 ml tubes and historical Jan Wellem print on the inside lid and historical owl on the outside lid. Includes all three special colours Solferine, Gamboge gum and Cassler brown.
Jan Wellem, actually Johann Wilhelm II of the Palatinate (1658-1716), Elector of the Palatinate, who lived from 1658 to 1716 and made Düsseldorf a cultural centre, was known for his magnificent court, his promotion of art and culture and his populist manner, which earned him the nickname ‘Jan Wellem’. This is probably why the art-loving Elector was the inspiration for the Horadam watercolour travel case of the 1930s. We have reissued the box according to the historical original and urned it into a collector’s treasure with two special prints.
This set includes:
Gamboge Gum (210)
Solferino (375)
Cobalt Blue Light (487)
English Venetian Red (655)
Yellow Ochre (649)
Cassler Brown (675)
- Retro-style metal box with historical owl print (outside) and Jan Wellem print (inside) - 6 x 5 ml tubes of HORADAM Aquarell - Includes 3 special shades: Gamboge gum, Solferine and Cassler brown - Complemented with a letter from the management at the time and retro watercolour chart
“Brilliant shop! Wonderful, prompt and attentive service and an excellent array of products (particularly given the size of the space). I usually order online and collect in store (another excellent service) to save the risk of parking my bike outside but always enjoy a wander when I’m in town. Highly recommended!”

“I ordered 3 pads of watercolour paper and when it arrived I was amazed at the way it was packed. Bubble wrap, cardboard wrap then brown paper. As a result the paper arrived in perfect condition. Well done.”
– Graham
“So nice to have a shop not in a mall or a big impersonal space with knowledgeable helpful staff-full of all the art/craft supplies one could possibly want.”
– Halima
“I’ve only found this wonderful shop recently. I have been coming into this shop regularly since as I’m doing a few craft projects at the moment. The staff are absolutely lovely and have helped me anytime I needed assistance — even with recommendations!”
– Chantelle
“The staff were very helpful and patient and helped me get everything I needed to start traditional inking/inkwash art, which is not that common (but they had the supplies regardless). Coming from a digital background, I had very little idea about what I needed but they were very patient and kind in helping me pick out each piece of equipment.”
