Raphael Brushes

Raphael has been crafting brushes outside of Paris for over 200 years.  We cannot promise that the Raphael brushes you buy will be this old, however, because Raphael brushes sell rather quickly and are hard to keep in stock.  The point?  The Raphael brushes are all very well made by experienced people in France where brushmaking has a long history.  Try one and you will see!

Designers Pure Kolinsky Red Sable Quill

The quill preferred by Decorative Artists' and Rosemalers is the Series 16684.  This brush comes to a nice point for fine detailed work.  It is an excellent brush, with a short black handle.

Series 8404 Kolinsky Sable Designer Rounds

The fine hair used in Kolinsky brushes comes from the Siberian and Manchurian Sable, also known as Kolinsky. This small animal inhabits the coldest areas of these regions which is why it has very strong and dense hair. This golden-red hair is extremely fine and resistent. These Kolinsky brushes have a wide, full body and come to a sharp point. It is the ideal hair for Artists' brushes and it's price per gram is significantly higher than gold. Designed with the Watercolorist in mind, the 8404 series round is also a favorite with Decorative Artists' and Rosemalers.
