🧹 Getting some winter cleaning done at GFS! Today, we are dusting two Pierre Boncompain paintings at Rat’s Restaurant. In order to not disturb the paintings, special Hake brushes are used, which are gentle on the frames and can remove dust without the risk of snagging the wood. These brushes are usually made of sheep or goat hair in Japan and keep the art sparkling!
