Escoda Chungking Bristle
The Spanish company Escoda makes an outstanding line of top quality artist bristle brushes. Premium quality Chungking bristle is used to make this line of interlocked brushes. Included in their selection are three different length filbert brushes. The Escoda process of baking the brush head after formation accentuates the memory of the bristles. This produces a brush that retains its original shape and handles wonderfully. The handles are varnished natural wood with triple crimped nickel-plated brass ferrules.
NOTE: European sizes on all series, roughly half as large as English sizes.
Series 4528 SHORT FILBERT The short filbert is an appropriate brush for short dabbing strokes of heavy body paint. An extended range of sizes is available. NOTE: European sizes
Series 4729 NORMAL FILBERT The normal filbert is the same hair length out as a flat brush, producing a soft edged stroke. NOTE: European sizes
