Series 69/C round brush with squirrel hair and quill handle.

Round tip brush with extremely long fibre in squirrel hair and quill handle without binding.

Natural squirrel hair is processed using an ancient technique handed down by furriers, characterised by extreme softness and elasticity. The fineness of the fibre and its flexibility, associated with a slow and homogeneous release of water, make it ideal for gilding, watercolour and ceramic painting.

Series 69/C is made with a handcrafted single quill handle without binding, binding the precious squirrel hair to the body of the brush. With very long hair, this type of brush is ideal for slow releases of water and more complicated gilding, whilst the lightness of the handle helps the rapid fields of direction and processing in support of gold leaf on the base of the bolus.

The brushstroke is elastic and holds its shape for a long time, whilst the selection of sizes is with a view to very fine lines and definitions. Much appreciated by gilders and by professional watercolourists. The quill handle is hollow and easy to handle, acting as a reservoir for more fluid colours.

Individually packaged with a protective plastic tube.

THE LINE

The line is thin, long and continuous, being elastic and resistant even if extremely soft. When used lightly, the extremely sharp tip creates delicate lines with a slow release of water. When pressure is applied, it has the shape of a very elongated pointed drop.
