Founded in Paris in 1793 and owned and operated by the Sauer family since 1859, Raphaël is the oldest fine art brush maker in Europe. Following the time honored tradition of master and apprentice, the highly skilled craftswomen of Raphaël must train for years before they are ready to produce a Raphaël brush. The finest hairs and bristles are imported from all over the world and hand sorted to ensure the highest quality. Every brush made by Raphaël is made with the artist in mind.

Established in 1793, Raphaël has been renowned for the impeccable quality of their artist’s brushes as well as their more recent innovations. It took years of research for Raphaël to create a brush that would replicate all the characteristics of the famed KEVRIN without using its original hair composition. A blend of several natural hairs with a proprietary groundbreaking synthetic fiber meant to create the perfect Mongoose substitute, KEVRIN+ is in fact a better brush than its predecessor and offers all the features a quality Oil and Acrylic brush requires.
These 100% pure red sable oil brushes are excellent for precision work and applying smooth brush strokes. Fresco Long Handle sable offers the spring, sharp point and edge similar to Kolinsky sable but at a fraction of the cost. Special short round and long pointed filbert models.
