Finnish Hand Brush, Large, Light Bristle

Finnish Hand Brush, Large, Light Bristle
£25.00
Ex Tax: £20.83

A coarse hand brush made with an untreated beech handle, hand stitched with coarse cow bristles by the crafts people of a Finnish visually impaired workers cooperative, an organisation that has been operating out of Helsinki since 1919. With a turned handle, and a hole for hanging. Around 41cm overall length.

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.
  • Materials Untreated beechwood and cow bristle
