About the Brand:  Mason Pearson incorporated the knowledge from his time in the wool processing industry to spark the invention of an automatic brush-boring machine to speed up the process of brush making and, in 1885 public recognition of this resulted in his being awarded a Silver Medal at the International Inventions Exhibition in London.

In the same year he extended the idea to the inspirational ‘pneumatic’ rubber-cushion hairbrush.

It took until 1905 to improve and hone his technique, much of which was still required to be done by hand.
