Swedish Hand Brush, Beech & Horse Hair, Small

Swedish Hand Brush, Beech & Horse Hair, Small
£22.00
Ex Tax: £18.33
A simple hand stitched hand broom of beech, medium soft grey-brown horse hair, and steel wire. For use with a dustpan as a floor or bench broom. From the company of Iris Hantverk whose workshops in Sweden and Estonia were founded to provide traditional handcraft employment for the visually impaired, and which remains to this day one of the few, and finer sources of higher quality stitched brushes. About 30cm long with a head of about 14cm.

Care Advice

Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little shampoo and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting. Note that clothes moths will go for animal fibre brushes in the same way that they will for animal fibre clothes. Keep brushes in a dust free environment, and treat surfaces with cedar oil to repel them.
  • Materials Oiled beechwood, metal wire, and horse hair
