Ostrich Feather Duster

A traditional ostrich feather duster with a varnished wooden handle set with dark ostrich feathers. Whips around the house quickly capturing dust ensuring you don't waste time spreading dust but remove it effectively. Perfect for a speedy dust around the house when you have better things to do! 

Measures between 45-50cm, based on the season, the feathers of the ostriches may be larger or smaller, thicker or thinner.  We have no influence over these natural characteristics. For this reason, each feather duster will vary - however, this is what makes it unique. To guarantee a consistent quality standard, the feathers used in binding each duster are always kept at the same total weight.

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.
