English 'Lily' Dusting Brush

English 'Lily' Dusting Brush
£14.50
Ex Tax: £12.08
A resin set pure light hog bristle dust brush of a type traditionally used by decorators to clean woodwork and decorative panels prior to painting. Stiffer than our goat-hair dust-brushes these are ideal for more robust items, cobwebs, or those with more deeply ingrained and heavier build ups of grime. From the company of R. Russell who have been manufacturing brushes in the town of Chesham, Buckinghamshire for at least six generations, since their founding in the annex of a local tavern sometime in the early 1840s. About 10cm across the width of the brush.

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 100g
  • Item Dimensions L20.5 x W10.5 x H3.5
  • Materials Hog bristles and wood
