Early 19th Century Black Lacquer Chinese Crumb Brush

About the Item

This wonderful Chinese Crumb Brush is an interesting look into the past. Made in the early 19th century, this brush is made of natural boar's hair, paper maché covered wood that is coated with a black lacquer and intricately painted with golds and natural tones to create a visual story. Typically, this type of brush was used during the reign of Napoleon III. A period where his wife had a significant influence on fashion, both wearables and decorative. Beyond the interesting history following this piece, it would be a stunning addition to many interior design ideas, from a table top display piece to a simple addition to a guest room vanity or even a special touch to a shelf arrangement.
