## Description

Rafaeli was founded in Paris, in France in France in 1793. Rafaeli has been a manufacturer that has been historically recognized as one industry, and has been continuing to make brushes for a long time. In the year of Rafaeli (1793) and in Japan, it was the time that songi and Chigarakura were competing in the five years of Koshi Edo. In Europe, famous painters such as Picasso and Cezanne, they loved the Rafaeli Brush. With the knowledge and network cultivated in a long history, we have the raw hair sourcing and processing system that only Rafaeli can do. In addition, this brush is made with craftsmanship that has been passed down over generations without cutting the edge of the hair with a blade, and each piece is handmade and made in a style that is the same as it was originally established on. For more than two centuries, Rafaelian brushes have been polished to the demands of millions of painters, potters, and stained glass authors in France and beyond foreigns.

Review: Quality brushes for ink or paint - These are great brushes no matter the size you get. I personally use them for ink, because I brush ink a lot of art pieces, but they're also good for paint, mostly acrylic. I haven't tried them with oils, but I assume they work wonderfully for that as well. This 3/0 is for smaller lines or doing mid size details. If you need to put more ink (or paint) at once, I would recommend the 4/0 instead. I've tried a bunch of other brushes over the years, but these Raphael, Kolinsky brushes are the ones I keep coming back to.
Review: Wonderful to paint with - Love these brushes! Very top quality. Keeps their shape if you don’t abuse them (which is why I go thru so many) 🙄

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good brushes but bad packaging
*by L***W on October 9, 2025*

These are excellent brushes. I ordered 2 for myself in one order, and 2 to be shipped in to a friend in a separate order. We each received our 2 brushes, but one brush in each order had no plastic protective cover over the brush hairs. It was packaged between 2 pieces of cardboard with the other brush, not taped in place as brushes usually are, and that’s very bad for the brush hairs. Very disappointing. One of them had to be treated with gum Arabic to reset the hairs.
