A handmade pastry, barbecue, or baking brush of waxed birch, stainless steel wire, and horse-hair — which has the advantage, unlike synthetic bristles, of singeing rather than melting if burned or too hot. In Sweden there is a tradition of visually impaired craftsmen finding work in the manufacture of brushes. This continues today in the form of Iris Hantverk, which not only employs over 30 such individuals but also won renown for their enduring quality and design. About 18.5cm long with a head 4cm wide with bristles of just over 3cm.

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.
