“Christmas Colors” Tampico Whisk Broom handmade by Robert Sheckler of Redmond Philbert Handwork, Yarmouth, ME.
Tampico is an agave leaf fiber that is softer than broomcorn. Tampico brooms make great dusters or crumb brushes. Some people use their tampico brooms to dust their blinds, baseboards, and molding. This broom is tied with linen weaving yarn and decorated with Shaker wool yarn.
Avoid direct sunlight to keep colors bright.
Measures approximately 12″ long and 6″ wide. You will receive the exact broom pictured here.
Handmade brooms are truly pieces of functional art, as beautiful as they are practical. Plus, you’ll never want to hide this striking piece of art in a closet or a cupboard!
