The besom is the old world term for a broom to be used for more than just sweeping. This broom is a favorite for weddings, hand-fastings and housewarmings. Approx 52" tall.
Made of 100% organic materials. We do every step of the work, from harvesting and preparing the raw materials to the finished piece. Before the arrival of the commercial broom company, with a very practical flat (Shaker) broom, brooms were sown round and usually left untrimmed, as it required no special equipment to do this. Local craftsmen might make an annual batch of besoms, made of the local materials, which were indigenous to the area and sell or trade them in the local village. This is the “old world” style of broom.
