Antique Cherub 925 Sterling Ink Brush

Cherub Sterling Ink Brush

Antique Sterling Silver Handle • Premium Horsehair • One of a Kind

This one-of-a-kind brush is built from a repurposed antique sterling silver handle, giving new life to an object originally crafted for another era.

The handle features an ornate relief design with a raised cherub motif framed by flowing scrollwork. The silver has been preserved with its natural patina intact, honoring its age and history while allowing it to function as a working artist tool.

The bristle is premium natural horsehair with uncut, tapered tips. It holds fluid beautifully and releases it with control. The hair is soft yet responsive, allowing for delicate linear work, soft washes, and expressive trailing marks.

A black hanging loop is attached for studio storage.

This is both a functional brush and a sculptural object — designed to be used.
