Farrow & Ball
Read Farrow & Ball's story, in their own words.
Wanted: how your things are made
If you make what you sell, we would like to show it. Send us a link to photographs or film of your workshop, your process, your hands at work, and we will put it on this page, credited to you, with a link back to wherever it lives.
We are not after marketing shots. A phone video of a lathe or a stitching bench tells a visitor more than a styled product photo ever will.
Anything you send stays yours. We host nothing ourselves without asking: we link to your own film and your own pictures, and we will take it down the day you want it down.
Trading as FARROW & BALL LIMITED, registered at Companies House number 00999927.
What we have checked
Every brand here has to clear one test before it is listed at all: the company is a UK legal entity with real activity here. That is a question about the business, and it is deliberately not the same question as where any individual product is made.
- uk registered entity: Companies House record resolves, status active. Number published by the company at https://www.farrow-ball.com/terms-and-conditions. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
- uk hq: Registered office is a UK address: 33 Uddens Trading Estate, Dorset, BH21 7NL. This is the registered office, which is not necessarily where the company operates. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
- uk site: Stated by the company: "ADDRESS Farrow & Ball, Uddens Estate, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21 7NL, United Kingdom" — names a location but no site or process, so this corroborates uk_hq more than operations. Source, checked 2026-09-01.
- uk employment: Stated by the company: "For generations, we've shaped colour by hand and by heart, blending artisan instinct with laboratory precision. Each shade is expertly refined for modern life. We study samples at dawn and at dusk, adjusting and fine-tuning until the colour sings. Even in production, skilled makers guide the machines with practised precision, a human hand ensuring every batch is right." Source, checked 2026-09-01.

We have only checked company registration so far. Evidence of UK employment or a UK site is the next thing we intend to gather, and until we have it we say so on every product rather than implying it.
