French term or phrase: brosse à rechampir
Just an item in a marine supplies catalogue. See for example image at https://www.luniversdupeintre.com/pinceau-brosse-rechampir-p... (or just google image search on the term).
There doesn't seem to be anything corresponding to this brush in English. Does anybody know a name for them in English?
They can be used, among other things, for getting into awkward angles, and for this I'd use a cutting-in brush - but it's not all the same shape.

round headed brush for refinishing


Explanation:
Sash brush is a more economical term, but it is clear that on a boat there are many more angles and curved spots to paint or varnish. I offer my translation as more descriptive.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pinceau à rechampir Les pinceaux avec brosse ronde à rechampir, qui comme leur nom l'indique, sont utilisés pour peindre les angles, les fenêtres et les moulures. Idéal pour les détails et la finition. http://www.linternaute.com/bricolag­e/outilla

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: don't know why you need to expand on "(round) sash brush" as that's the name for this type of brush whether on a ship or elsewhere

  -> If you read the example sentence, the description of the purpose of these brushes is clearly explained. Yes it could be used in a house or other setting, but the asker's source is marine supplies.

neutral  Johannes Gleim: Overinterpretation. I wonder why "for finishing" is added, instead of the essential "pointed". The purpose is irrelevant.

  -> 'rechampir' is indeed the purpose of this type of brush.

Définitions
En peinture décorative, faire ressortir une moulure, un ornement du fond sur lequel ils sont appliqués, soit en marquant leurs contours, soit en employant une ou plusieurs couleurs différentes de celle du fond.
https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/réchampir/669...

Une brosse à rechampir est une brosse à peindre ronde et pointue, généralement en soies de porc, utilisée par les peintres-décorateurs et les peintres en bâtiment.
En modifiant la pression et l'inclinaison de la brosse, elle permet de faire des traits d'épaisseur contrôlée ou de bien « suivre » une surface à délimiter.
Elle est particulièrement destinée à la technique du réchampi ou réchampissage, qui consiste à mettre en valeur un fond (= un champ), en traçant autour un filet contrasté ou en mettant en relief certains éléments d'une moulure ou d'un cadre en appliquant une couleur plus foncée.
Les peintres en bâtiment l'utilisent couramment pour dégager les angles, c'est-à-dire à peindre dans l'angle d'un mur en évitant de déborder sur le mur perpendiculaire.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brosse_à_rechampir

On s'aide également de pinceaux à rechampir et de pinceaux à filer.

Fine round brushes and fillet brushes can also be used.

Artist's brush shapes
• Round: pointed tip, long closely arranged bristles for detail.
• Flat: for spreading paint quickly and evenly over a surface. They will have longer hairs than their Bright counterpart.
• Bright: shorter than flats. Flat brushes with short stiff bristles, good for driving paint into the weave of a canvas in thinner paint applications, as well as thicker painting styles like impasto work.
• Filbert: flat brushes with domed ends. They allow good coverage and the ability to perform some detail work.
• Fan: for blending broad areas of paint.
• Angle: like the filbert, these are versatile and can be applied in both general painting application as well as some detail work.

neutral  Johannes Gleim: I wonder why "sash" is added, when only corners inside of a boat are to be painted with this brush, instead of "pointed", what it specific for this type.
2 hrs
  -> As per my reference, this is just the accepted and widely used name of this type of brush. It is also used for sash windows. "Pointed" is probably not specific enough as this could indicate a very fine brush for artwork.

agree  Yvonne Gallagher: Sash brush is a TAPERED point brush, thus very specific type
