Cinder Besom
Hearth brooms are meant to hang near the fire and rid corners and grooves from ash, wood, and tinder. The rounded shape is classic of a besom, a traditional broom with European origins, most closely associated with images of witchery. Historically, most household brooms would have been in this rounded style before the Shakers developed the flattened, sewn design we use today.
Made with driftwood, dyed sorghum, tarred twine, and fire.
Measures approx. 40” long. Because of the variance in natural materials, each broom is unique and may not appear exactly as pictured.
