In 1905, Max Grumbacher began his business as a small importer of brushes for fine art, sign, and scenery painting. Each brush was made by hand, with the hair, ferrules and handles carefully selected with the artist in mind. Max felt that the quality that went into crafting a brush was reflected in the artwork it produced. Grumbacher is dedicated to carrying on the tradition of fine brush making. Each brush is still hand made with special attention to the hair, ferrule and handle. We are committed to upholding the reputation that Grumbacher brushes have had among artists since those early days at the turn of the century. To that end, we have dramatically improved the brushes in our line.
Gainsborough is a professional grade interlocked Chungking hog bristle with natural flags. The line is the premier line of all hog bristle brushes. The Bristlette brush line remains the standard in oil and acrylic long handle white taklon brushes and contains 4 different diameter filaments allowing for an ideal balance of stiffness and color lay down. 
Goldenedge has a beautiful new handle and a new gold plated brass ferrule and now has a “sister series” in a long handle oil and acrylic. The new oil and acrylic Goldenedge is made with four different filaments of a mixture of Japanese Golden Toray and Korean Konex. The new Degas brush line is a professional oil and acrylic grade. This unique line is a mixture of seven different filaments. The brushes are stiff enough to push the heaviest body oil or acrylics while being supple enough for the most delicate of glazes. Degas brushes are ideal for acrylic, oils, and especially water miscible oils. The Academy brush ranges offer good quality at a great price. They are available in white synthetic; short handle for watercolor, and long handle for acrylic and oil, and a stiffer, long handle Hog Bristle for acrylic and oil. The Academy range precisely aligns with the Academy line of colors allowing the consumer to instantly understand the positioning of the brushes providing for enhanced self service and, ultimately, better customer satisfaction. Grumbacher also offers a collegiate grade of assorted natural hair watercolor brushes.
