Standing Glass Brush, Birch & Horsehair

Standing Glass Brush, Birch & Horsehair
£27.50
Ex Tax: £22.92
A handmade brush for the gentle cleaning of fine glassware, made from oiled birch and light horse hair. From the Swedish and Estonian workshops of Iris Hantverk, where visually impaired craftsmen find employment in the manufacture of hand sewn as well as machine bound brushes, made predominantly of natural and sustainable materials. With a cylindrical head these brushes possess both charm and function. About 22cm tall, with a head diameter of 7cm.

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.
  • Weight g 60g
  • Item Dimensions ⌀7.5 x H22.5
  • Materials Oiled birchwood and horse hair
