About Us
Heritage
Welcome to Farrow & Ball where beautiful hand crafted wallpapers and paint with an unsurpassed purity and depth of colour, come together to create exquisite interiors.
Farrow & Ball has been making paint in Dorset, one batch at a time, since 1946 and remains one of only a few companies making a full range of traditional and modern paint finishes of the highest quality.
The depth and beauty of our paint colours are unmatched by other paints. We use more high quality pigments and resins and no low quality ‘fillers’, which gives our colours visibly greater depth and purity often referred to as the ‘Farrow & Ball look’. Unlike many other manufacturers we use naturally occurring pigments, such as Umbers in their purest form, and we continue to use natural ingredients such as Chalk, Lime Putty, Linseed Oil and China Clay.
Our colour accuracy and quality is second to none as we have complete control over every tin of paint and roll of wallpaper we produce. Everything is made in our factory in Dorset and we don’t allow anyone else to make our products for us.
Farrow & Ball paints grace the walls of some of the most beautiful homes across the world. The colours and finishes are historically rooted, meticulously researched, and reflect our unique heritage. The same distinctive approach applies to our wallpaper: we are unique in using our own paints and traditional printing methods to create wallpapers of exceptional texture and beauty.
