The History of the Raphaël Brand

Raphaël is the oldest fine art brush manufacturer in Europe, established in Paris in 1793. With over 230 years of tradition, craftsmanship, and dedication to art, Raphaël has become a trusted name among artists worldwide.

Since 1859, the company has been owned and operated by the Sauer family, who have passed down their knowledge and commitment to quality through generations. Every Raphaël brush is made according to the time-honored master-apprentice tradition. Brushmakers train for years before they are entrusted to craft a Raphaël brush on their own.

The hairs used in their brushes are sourced from all over the world and meticulously selected based on length, spring, softness, and durability. Depending on the brush series, Raphaël uses Kolinsky sable, weasel, goat, squirrel, high-grade synthetic fibers, or natural bristles.

Each brush is made with the artist in mind—designed for comfort, precision, and durability. Raphaël blends heritage craftsmanship with modern innovation, continually developing new solutions to meet the evolving needs of contemporary artists.
