Raphaël Kolinsky Gold Brushes
The Raphaël Kolinsky Gold range represents the pinnacle of traditional brush making. Crafted from carefully selected premium Kolinsky red sable, these brushes are prized by professional artists for their remarkable spring, fine point and exceptional durability. Often regarded as the “Rolls Royce” of artist brushes, the range has earned its reputation through generations of French craftsmanship and uncompromising quality.

Kolinsky red sable possesses unique natural characteristics that synthetic fibres struggle to replicate. Each hair features a fine tapered tip, excellent elasticity and a natural belly that holds a generous amount of paint. Together, these qualities provide superb control, a responsive feel and beautifully consistent paint release, allowing artists to work with confidence from the first stroke to the last.

Designed primarily for oil and acrylic painting, Kolinsky Gold brushes offer the perfect balance of precision and fluidity. Their seamless gold-plated ferrules ensure lasting durability, while the long black lacquered handles provide excellent balance and comfortable control for easel painting. Whether producing intricate details, controlled brushwork or expressive finishing touches, these brushes deliver the accuracy and responsiveness expected from a premium professional tool.
