Farrow & Ball Multi Surface 750ml Dead Flat Rectory Red No.217

Farrow & Ball Dead Flat is a multi-surface, ultra flat matt finish for walls, woodwork and metal, with added durability. Dead Flat was developed by Farrow & Ball over 70 years ago to recreate the 18th century ‘flatted lead’ paint effect. This traditional method originally involved teams of artisans painstakingly layering coats of paint to build a deep, rich and pigmented matt look, which was often reserved for the formal reception rooms of a house due to the work involved. Which you can now have in any room you choose to create your very own castle. Now innovative technology from the experts at Farrow & Ball have reinterpreted Dead Flat again, with a breakthrough in chemistry delivering the celebrated historic richness of colour combined with an incredibly durable paint. This easy-to-use, low odour and quick drying formulation can be painted onto walls, woodwork and metal, making it the ultimate choice for any room in modern homes. Cat's Paw is named after an ancient knot, used for centuries to hitch rope to a hook or ring. A deep and earthy yellow-toned neutral, Cat's Paw is reminiscent of natural fibre rope, accounting for both its name and its affinity with yellow-toned neutrals String and Cord.
