Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Borciani Bonazzi brushes unique?

Borciani Bonazzi brushes are handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans using time-honored techniques and premium materials. This craftsmanship ensures exceptional control, durability, and performance across mediums like watercolor, oil, acrylic, and even delicate restoration work.

Are Borciani Bonazzi brushes good for professional artists?

Yes! These brushes are trusted by professional fine artists, illustrators, and even art restorers—including those who work on historic masterpieces because of their precision, balance, and consistent quality.

Where are Borciani Bonazzi brushes made?

Borciani Bonazzi brushes are made in Casalmaggiore Italy. For more than half a century Borciani Bonazzi has specialized in the production of fine art brushes. In 1951, siblings Wilma and Arturo Bonazzi decided to set up their own small artisan shop after years of training with the local masters, where they learned the secrets of traditional brushmaking.

How do I care for Borciani Bonazzi brushes?

Clean your brushes gently with mild soap and lukewarm water after each use. Reshape the hairs and allow them to dry horizontally to maintain their original form and extend their lifespan.
