16. Farmhouse Broom - Moss by Rosa Harradine
Made from: Handmade broom - broomcorn fibre, painted beech handle, nylon thread and cork hanging strap.
Dimensions: 150 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm
Year made: 2026
The broom in the exhibtion has now sold but we are selling further editions of these direct from Rosa Harradine’s studio. The further editions are made to order and take 4-5 weeks to make and dispatch. After a made-to-order broom has been purchased, we will be in touch in touch with an invoice for the shipping cost and further details on dispatch.
This farmhouse broom is made entirely by hand using traditional broom-making techniques. Bound with broomcorn - a type of sorghum - around a hand-painted beech handle, it is designed as a practical tool for everyday use while also celebrating the beauty of skilled craftsmanship.
The work reflects the ideals of the Arts & Crafts movement championed at Standen: a belief in the value of handmade objects, honest materials and the elevation of functional domestic items through thoughtful design and making. Created as an alternative to disposable, mass-produced household goods, the broom demonstrates how utility and beauty can coexist.
Historically, brooms have occupied an important place in domestic life, yet they are rarely considered objects worthy of display. I seek to draw attention to the skill embedded within everyday objects and to reconnect people with traditional making practices. Whether used daily or hung on the wall, the broom invites appreciation of the craftsmanship behind an often-overlooked household tool.
The exhibition runs until 30 September. Once a purchase has been completed, buyers may choose either to collect their artwork free of charge from Standen House on 2 October, or to have the work professionally packed, insured and couriered by Sussex Contemporary. Delivery charges vary according to the size, weight and value of each artwork and are detailed on the individual product page before purchase.
