Twelve sable brushes, six filbert and six round, sizes 1–12, a complete sable kit in one case.
6 filbert heads: sizes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11
6 round heads: sizes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12
Sable hair, suits oil, acrylic and watercolour
Supplied in a presentation case
Sable is what most painters consider the finest hair there is, and the reason is practical: it carries a full load and returns to a point, so you reload less often and your edges stay clean. Twelve sizes means you finish a painting without ever reaching for a brush you don’t own.
Sable has always been the expensive option. Buying direct from a prestigious manufacturer in volume, and selling the twelve as one set rather than one brush at a time, is what brings it within reach.
Featured in The Times and Daily Mail, with over 400 five-star reviews. 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.

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.

First use of these brushes, the bristles came off on the painting itself which is really annoying. Had to pick them off which smudges the painting. Disappointed
