Swedish Mushroom Brush, Oiled Beech & Horsehair

Swedish Mushroom Brush, Oiled Beech & Horsehair
£16.00
Ex Tax: £13.33
An elegantly turned, oiled-beech handled mushroom brush set with dark horsehair — for brushing soil or compost from mushrooms, and used without water to better preserve flavour and texture. Made by Iris Hantwerk, whose workshops in Sweden and Poland employ visually impaired craftsmen — a tradition in the world of brush-making. After use allow to dry if damp and brush vigorously against the fingers to remove any loose dirt — best kept dry. Measures approximately 16.5cm total length, with bristles of about 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.
  • Weight g 20g
  • Item Dimensions ⌀2 x H16.5
  • Materials Oiled beechwood and horsehair
