The "un-stately" home of Calke Abbey, Derbyshire.
Calke Green is named after Calke Abbey, the country house in Derbyshire where an aged version of this rich green colour was originally found. As a wall colour, it works particularly well with Old White on ceilings and woodwork. Modern Eggshell is Farrow & Ball's toughest interior finish, adding colour and protection to wood, metal, and concrete surfaces. This ultra-durable eggshell is tough enough for floors, and it can also be used throughout the home on skirting, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators.
