About Daler-Rowney
Richard and Thomas Rowney established the Rowney Company in 1783, initially selling perfumes and wig powder. Wigs fell out of fashion when George IV discarded his own wig and then the Rowney brothers began producing artists' colours. They went on to supply Constable and Turner along with many other famous British artists.
In 1963, Rowney was the first company in Europe to produce acrylic paints and both Peter Blake and Bridget Riley, prominent exponents of pop art, used their paints. In 1969 the company moved to Bracknell but remained a family run business. Tom Rowney had been CEO for 30 years but had no family to succeed him and so sold the company to Morgan Crucible.
Meanwhile, the Daler Board Company had been established for more than 20 years and had created a substitute for canvas when canvas was in short supply in the post-war years. Following the success of the Daler Board, the company developed a range of artists' materials, including the first synthetic watercolor brush.
In 1983, Daler Board Company bought the George Rowney Company and became Daler-Rowney. Daler-Rowney produces paper, brushes and paints and is unique among the leading brands in the art market. The company caters to the needs of professional artists, skilled students and amateurs, including emerging talents and beginners. The key products are diverse in nature but include oil paints, especially Georgian oils and graduate oils, acrylic paints including System 3, watercolor surfaces, watercolor paper and brushes.
