Hand Made Horse-Hair Broom, Waxed Beech & Horsehair

Hand Made Horse-Hair Broom, Waxed Beech & Horsehair
£49.50
Ex Tax: £41.25

A hand-sewn, shaped, and assembled dark horsehair broom with a waxed and dyed beech stock, and detachable softwood handle. The moderately soft fine bristles are ideally suited to the sweeping of most internal floors, collecting dust and fine particles more effectively than stiffer synthetic or vegetable fibres. Made by hand in a small family run workshop in the town of Versmold, Germany. With a 28cm stock / head. Supplied with a 140cm wooden handle with a metal screw tip to fit the broom head.

Please note that this item will incur a long item shipping surcharge which will be added at the shipping stage of checkout.

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.
  • Item Dimensions Handle ⌀2.5 x L140
  • Materials Waxed and dyed beechwood, horsehair, metal
