Borciani e Bonazzi: Italian Craftsmanship in Fine Art Brushes

Borciani e Bonazzi produces exceptional handcrafted artist brushes, blending traditional Italian craftsmanship with innovation and research.

Founded in 1951 in Emilia Romagna by siblings Wilma and Arturo Bonazzi, the company was built on a foundation of expertise passed down by master brushmakers. The brand's name was born from Wilma’s marriage to Borciani, marking the union of two families dedicated to the art of brushmaking.

From its earliest days, Borciani e Bonazzi was renowned for their high quality brushes, catering to professional artists and restorers seeking specialist tools for their craft. Each brush is still meticulously handmade by expert artisans, using natural hair, bristles, and advanced synthetic fibres to ensure exceptional performance across a wide range of techniques.

The company’s brushes have played a key role in some of Italy’s most significant restoration projects. This includes the Sistine Chapel in Rome and works in Florence for the holy Jubilee, earning recognition from prestigious national restoration institutions such as the Istituto Centrale di Restauro in Rome and the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence.

Today, Borciani e Bonazzi continues to evolve. They use time-honoured techniques with modern advancements to produce brushes that meet the highest standards of quality and durability. Whether used by skilled restorers or contemporary artists, Borciani e Bonazzi brushes remain a popular tool for those who demand precision, craftsmanship, and tradition in every brushstroke.
