Borciani & Bonazzi

For more than half a century the brush factory has specialised in the production of fine art brushes. In 1951 in a small artisan shop in Emilia, Wilma and Arturo Bonazzi, brother and sister, decided to set up their own business after years of training with the local masters, to learn the secrets of traditional gestures, their sequence and the capability to recognise the most suitable materials. Wilma married young Borciani and the union of the two surnames gave rise to the mark, which was immediately outstanding for quality of product, precise artisan craftsmanship and courtesy in satisfying the demands of professional restorers and painters who came to the brush factory searching for special tools for their works. Still today, repeating almost magically the ritual of gestures assimilated over time, the attention to raw materials along with artisan skills that have never been lost in theit production (done entirely in Italy) satisfies the most demanding artists, lute makers, gilders and restorers who have preferred the brand for years and constantly keep them busy to live up to their expectations.
