Winsor and Newton's Series 7 Sable brushes are the preservation of their link to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, who in 1866 gave orders to Winsor and Newton to produce brushes of the highest possible quality in her favourite size: No. 7. Winsor and Newton continues to attach this concern for quality to the production of Series 7 Sables, with unremitting care to every detail and the rigorous selection of only the highest raw materials. Series 7 brushes are still costly - but if your work demands the best, if you appreciate long life and incomparable service throughout, the purchase is an investment, which will prove to be a long term economy. Manufactured from only the finest taper dressed, pure Kolinsky Sable hair, in rust-proof, seamless nickel plated ferrules with black polished handles.
