Siiliharja, Finnish snow brush
£30.00
Ex Tax: £25.00
The Siiliharja — hedgehog — is a long bristled birch and union blend (bass and tampico) elegantly curved hand broom from Finland, where it might typically be used to brush snow, ice, dirt, dust, and mud from clothes, boots, and entrance stairs. The vegetable fibre bistles are tough, water resistant, moderately stiff, yet because of their length, flexible enough to sweep rather than scrub making this the ideal hand brush for the threshold. Handmade by the visually impaired craftspeople of a Vantaa based Finnish cooperative. With an overall length in the region of 70cm, and a head of very roughly 20cm
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 dish soap 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.
- Weight g 150g
- Item Dimensions L54.2 x W10 x H16
