collection of vintage artists paint brushes, wire wrapped natural bristle paintbrushes

Large lot of art brushes, wire wrapped and much used. Some of these are put together with old wooden handles, or very cracked plastic 'sleeves' holding the wire wrapped brush.

These are all out of the estate of a china painter and artist, and I think these are probably are natural bristle brushes, many 1970s or 80s vintage.

There's more than two dozen brushes in this lot (the whole lot is shown altogether in the first photo). I don't know anything about painting, and I just can't tell you how usable or useful these brushes would be - but I think they make a wonderful collection even just as display pieces!
