Daler-Rowney art supplies company draws on over 200 years of experience. The oldest of the two halves, Rowney was founded in the 18th century, supplying artists’ colours to customers including Constable and Turner. The company made important innovations in both oil and watercolours and in 1963 was the first to introduce a range of artists’ acrylics. The second, The Daler Board Company, began in 1945, creating canvas substitutes in response to post-war shortages before expanding into a range of artists’ materials.
Our reputation as a manufacturer of the finest art materials dates back nearly 240 years. Here at Daler-Rowney, our aim is to allow everyone to be creative. Inspiring creativity since 1783, we strive to be accessible, inclusive and innovative, offering an outstanding artistic experience to all. We support your creativity.
In 1983, the Daler Board Company purchased the George Rowney Company to become Daler-Rowney Limited, as it’s known today. In their own specialist areas of manufacture, both companies led the development of fine artists' materials in the United Kingdom for many years. The combined heritage of both companies and the Daler-Rowney name has become synonymous with consistent quality to artists throughout the world.
