C. Roberson & Co has a long and interesting history. The business was started in 1810 by Charles Roberson, who chose the centre of London and the heart of the artistic quarter as the location for his first shop. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century, Roberson was considered to be one of the most important colourmen in Europe - counting Turner, Sargent and William Morris among his customers. The company still prepares its own paints and auxiliaries made with tried and tested recipes that are kept secret and actively protected.
