Find your fit

Is this the set for you?

For controlled detail

You enjoy the finishing touches: fine lines, clean edges and the small areas that need precision.

Why this set fits

Sable rounds come to a natural point and hold it, which is what fine lines and edges need.

For a versatile collection

You want one reliable set that covers more than one type of painting.

Why this set fits

A run of sable sizes covers washes, mid-sized work and detail, with the softness synthetics cannot match.

For returning to painting

You are ready to get back to creating, but do not want to rebuild your supplies from scratch.

Why this set fits

Real sable, numbered and in a case, so you start again with brushes you can trust. 60-day guarantee.

The details

Six sable round brushes, sizes 2–12, the round half of our Oxford sable range.

  • Set of 6, sizes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12
  • Round head: the all-purpose shape, from a fine point to a loaded stroke
  • Sable hair, suits oil, acrylic and watercolour

A round is the most versatile brush there is: press it down for a broad mark, lift to the tip for a fine one. Sable makes that range genuinely usable, because it holds enough colour to finish the stroke and recovers its point every time instead of splaying.

Buying direct from a prestigious manufacturer in volume, and selling the six as one set, is what brings sable within reach for painters who could never justify it one brush at a time.

Featured in The Times and Daily Mail, and a number one best seller. Compare them against sable from any fine-art store, if you don’t agree they are exceptional, return them free within 60 days for a full refund, without question or quibble.

60-day guarantee & free returns

You have 60 days after receiving your order to request a return, and returns postage is free: we send you a prepaid label, so sending something back costs you nothing.

Delivery

Free UK delivery on orders over £50.

UK standard £3.95, 2 to 4 working days. UK priority £7.95, 1 to 2 working days. EU £7.95, 5 to 10 working days. Rest of world £10.95, 8 to 12 working days.

Care & longevity

Rinse brushes in lukewarm water straight after painting, reshape the point with your fingers, and dry them flat or bristles-up. Treated this way, a good brush lasts years, not weeks.

The boutique behind it

We are a small family boutique, not a warehouse. Everything we sell is something we would happily paint with ourselves. If it does not meet that bar, it does not go in the box. Questions? Ask us, we paint too.

In the set

Inside the set

Six sable rounds, sizes 2 to 12.

One shape, six sizes. Sable holds a lot of water and springs back to a point, so each of these does two jobs: a wash with the belly and a line with the tip.

    Questions, answered

    Everything people ask before they buy

    Is this right for a complete beginner?

    Yes. Most of the painters in our gallery started from nothing, and every kit ships with a printed step-by-step guide written for exactly what is in the box. If a product suits one level more than another, its page says so plainly.

    How do the free gifts work?

    Cross £50 and delivery is free. Cross £55 and set of 5 palette knives is packed in. Cross £65 and set of 12 fine detail brushes joins it. Everything is added to your basket automatically, there is no code to enter.

    How fast is delivery?

    Orders are dispatched within 24 hours. UK standard arrives in 2 to 4 working days (£3.95, free over £50), priority in 1 to 2 (£7.95). We ship to the EU and worldwide too.

    What if I do not get on with it?

    You have 60 days to change your mind, and we send a prepaid return label, so sending it back costs you nothing. No quibbles, no restocking fees.

    Which mediums do the brushes suit?

    Each product page says which mediums it suits, watercolour, acrylic or oil. Sable carries water beautifully; our firmer synthetics stand up to acrylic and oil. If you are unsure, email us what you paint and we will point you right.

    Is it gift-ready?

    Our sets arrive in boxes worth keeping, no wrapping needed. If you would rather they choose, a gift voucher lets them pick their own.
