Isabey Stradivarius Designer Kolinsky Brush |
The Stradivarius is available in two styles. The 6729 has a sable tuft and is referred to as a "designer's brush" because of its ability to hold an extra-fine point. The 6730 is made of squirrel hair and is called "The Colorist" due to its exceptional paint load capacity allowing beautiful, even strokes of color. Both Stradivarius brushes are lightweight and well balanced. The African mahogany handles are elegantly shaped with an ergonomic design, and the hairs are mounted in a quill ferrule with a brass wire tie.

About Isabey
For centuries beautiful handmade brushes for artists have been crafted in Brittany, France. A region famous for fishing, the men of Brittany have traditionally left at dawn to man the boats, while the craftswomen of Brittany stayed at home to make the world’s most beautiful handmade lace and fine art brushes.
The art of fine brushmaking has been passed on from generation to generation of Bretons, and the brushes made today are the legacy of that tradition. It takes the brushmakers 7 years to learn how to make the brushes of the Isabey line. Isabey brushmakers must apprentice 10 years before being allowed to make the Kolinsky sable, red sable and Siberian blue squirrel mop brushes. Isabey travels to the most remote locations in the world to hand select only the finest hair available. Unlike manufacturers who buy pre-dressed hair and pre-assembled brushes, every Isabey brush is completely made by hand from start to finish, and completely hand dressed including the washing, sorting and shaving of the hair. In order to preserve the natural qualities and characteristics of the hair, all Isabey brushes are shaped exclusively during the mounting of the hair, without further cutting or re-shaping of its tip.
Through traditional methods, careful selection of materials, the strictest quality control and unparalleled pride in workmanship, Isabey crafts brushes of distinction that are truly works of art. The adherence to this tradition that has been passed through the centuries makes Isabey brushes the finest in the world.
