SLOW DÉCOR FOR AN INTENTIONAL LIFESTYLE.
Worn by years of creative work, these three antique French paint brushes carry the unmistakable patina of time—each wooden handle hand-smoothed from use, each copper ferrule bearing the marks of an artist’s touch. Likely made from horsehair bristles, they have retained their beautifully soft, natural shape, making them as functional as they are decorative.
Ranging from 28 to 32 cm in length, this set is a perfectly mismatched trio, each brush unique in its wear and character. Whether once used for fine art, sign painting, or decorative plaster work, these brushes are now a piece of history, a tangible connection to an artist’s studio of the past.
A Piece with a Story
Vintage paintbrushes like these were made to last a lifetime, crafted with sturdy wooden handles, copper ferrules, and natural bristles—a far cry from today’s disposable materials. Their beautifully aged surfaces hint at a world of color-mixing palettes, half-finished canvases, and the quiet ritual of an artist at work.
Now, they are ready for a new chapter—whether as a collector’s display, a prop for a creative space, or a meaningful gift for a lover of vintage craftsmanship.
