Ostrich Feather Duster - 90cm
SKU: 468807A traditional, medium sized ostrich feather duster measuring 90cm long with a varnished wooden handle set with a large, dark ostrich feather head. Whips around the house quickly capturing dust ensuring you don't waste time spreading dust but remove it effectively from ceilings, light fittings, ornaments, furniture and stairs. Reaches into corners and to tall furniture thanks to its long handle and is perfect for a speedy dust around the house when you have better things to do!
Regarded as the queen of feather dusters, ostrich feathers are constructed from long barbules from a central shaft, each tiny barbule formed with hooked barbicels, so that the feather is made up of mini feathers! Because of this complex, delicate, construction dust is not swept away but captured in the tiny barbules, ensuring it is removed easily and, thanks to the lightness of the feathers, without disturbing the items being dusted. For these reasons, ostrich feather dusters are particularly effective and were regarded historically as status symbols in private households.
Please note, being a natural product feather colours may vary slightly from those shown. The ostrich feathers that we use originate in South Africa and are ethically gathered from sustainable sources.
