Celebrating 140 years of excellence in paint an wood polishes manufacturing: DISCOVER MYLANDS STORY
Mylands began in 1884 when ‘Honest’ John Myland set up his modest shop in the heart of Lambeth, South London. A 5th generation family business, follow the owner, Dominic Myland and discover the incredible story of the company.
Mylands remained a best kept secret amongst this discerning group until 2012, when our paints were made available to customers direct for the first time with the launch of ‘Colours of London’, 120 London-made and inspired timeless colours.
Throughout our rich and colourful history, Mylands has played a starring role in some of the world’s greatest screen productions. Our longstanding association with the film, television and theatre industry has seen our paints featured in James Bond, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Mr Selfridge, Les Miserables and Cinderella to name a few.
In 1985, Mylands received the ultimate accolade – a coveted royal warrant.
Today, we’re still in Lambeth; the only remaining paint manufacturer in London, and John’s great-grandson Dominic Myland proudly continues the family tradition of perfection in paint.
A privileged partner for the Film, theatre and art industry: Discover Mylands at the Dulwich Picture Gallery
