Manetti : Gilder's Mop : Synthetic Squirrel : Flat : No. 2

Manetti Synthetic Squirrel Flat Gilder's Mops are flat gilding brushes made from synthetic squirrel hair designed to closely replicate the behaviour of natural hair. Available in various sizes, they are intended for leaf application in water gilding techniques, particularly where the gilded surface includes cavities or uneven areas.

The flat shape helps the leaf adhere more evenly to the support, while the synthetic fibres allow precise, uniform brushstrokes without leaving streaks. Their controlled handling makes them suitable for detailed gilding work where smooth application across shaped surfaces is important.

This is a No. 2 Manetti Synthetic Squirrel Flat Gilder’s Mop.
