As the guided city walk in Deventer was on a Saturday, a visit to the famous
Deventer brushes shop at the
Menstraat was included - it has opening hours on Saturdays only, and occasionally on Sundays too. The shop window shows part of the merchandise...
... that consists of more than 150 different kinds of brushes and brooms.
Founded in 1860, it is the oldest shop of Deventer. Until the 1950s the brushes and brooms were manufactured in a workplace behind the shop, but after a fire only the shop was left - and has been in business since today. The lady behind the counter was happy to tell us all about it!
Oh, what a cool shop !

Gelukkig dat zoiets nog bestaat.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSomehow a funny place nowadays, but I guess brushes for painters are still important to manufacture!
