Double-ended Horsehair Brush 040
L x W: 35 x 8 cm
Material: Natural lacquer, horsehair
In Chinese tradition, the horse symbolises strength, vitality and unceasing energy. Its mane and tail hair have long been regarded as protective, believed to carry energy that wards off misfortune and negativity. For centuries, small horsehair brushes or ornaments were hung at doorways or beside cradles as talismans of protection and peace.
This horsehair brush is introduced into daily life as well as into creative practice. It can be used for gentle dusting, cleaning surfaces or tea tables, and sweeping coffee grounds, while also fitting into ceramics, woodworking, and other studio contexts for clearing and surface work.
Horsehair, thread, and natural lacquer are integrated into a unified structure, allowing the brush to stand independently and maintain its form. Its flexible and resilient fibres enable both light touch and applied pressure, preserving the subtle variations of hand movement through repeated use.
