History

We were founded in 1925 on an uncompromising dedication to quality brushes. Today, the same dedication is evident in every brush, roller, scraper and other tools that we make.

The Art of Brushmaking

The art of brushmaking is at the very heart of our success. Since day one, every Purdy brush has been hand made without ever compromising on quality.
