Through the entire 20th century, every generation of owner has lead the company to its current position as one of the worlds leading manufacturers of finest artists’ colour.  \u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"SCHMINCKE","offers":[{"title":"SET","offer_id":43483560640571,"sku":"SC74673097","price":159.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/7299\/6411\/files\/SC74673097.jpg?v=1778027846","url":"https:\/\/www.gordonharris.co.nz\/products\/schmincke-horadam-watercolour-paint-retro-jan-wellem-travel-set-6","provider":"Gordon Harris - The Art \u0026 Graphic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
