English Heritage Long Handled Feather Duster

A beautifully traditional long-handled feather duster from the English Heritage range, established in 1860. Natural ostrich feathers on a long bamboo handle make it easy to reach high shelves, ceiling cornices, coving, light fittings, and other awkward spots without stretching or using a step ladder.

Who Is This For?

Ideal for anyone who needs to dust high or hard-to-reach areas without climbing on furniture or using a step ladder. The long bamboo handle makes it particularly suitable for tall rooms, period properties with high ceilings and cornices, and anyone with limited mobility who needs extra reach. A premium choice over a standard-length duster, and a fitting match for period homes and those who appreciate traditional British cleaning tools with heritage credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the handle? Please refer to the product images for exact handle and overall length dimensions. The handle is designed to provide extended reach for high shelves and ceiling-level surfaces without the need for a step ladder.

Why choose a long-handled duster over a standard one? A long-handled duster lets you reach ceiling cornices, high shelves, light fittings, and ceiling fans safely from floor level — no stretching or step ladders needed. Particularly useful in rooms with high ceilings or in properties with decorative coving and cornices that attract dust.

What makes ostrich feathers good for dusting? Ostrich feathers have a natural electrostatic charge that attracts and holds dust particles rather than pushing them into the air. The fine, soft barbs are gentle on polished, lacquered, and delicate surfaces.

How do I clean this duster? Shake outdoors to release loose dust. For deeper cleaning, gently hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry fully before storing.

Are shorter feather dusters also available? Yes — we also stock the World of Feathers 13-inch dusters in Blue and Pink, a Retractable Ostrich Feather Duster, and a Vintage Wooden Handle Feather Duster in our store.
