Handmade, designed, and tested to exacting standards, Hamburg Premier Professional Brushes will provide you with an amazing painting experience and exceptional results. Until recent protection bans were enacted, Mongoose hair brushes were a long time favorite workhorse brush of the oil painter. Mongoose was thirsty and supple enough to absorb and lay down large quantities of glaze, but had the durable strength to manage heavy bodied paints with ease and mastery, with a hair texture evenly between hog and sable.
We enlisted the help of a world-class German brush maker after the ban was enacted to develop a brush with the superb qualities of natural mongoose. It became a passion and a true labor of love to create the perfect brush, tirelessly testing multiple prototypes, tweaking and correcting each time. When testing the resulting line of brushes developed with a stable of well-known professional painters, all feedback was incredibly positive, and created an air of excitement among them! Most believed it not only matched but actually improved on natural Mongoose, providing better heft, absorbency, and shaping of the bristles.
