Nassau's flat paint.
Nassau's Flat Paint is a 1925 trade booklet issued by the James Nassau Co., a paint maker, to promote its flat finish for interiors. Its four colour plates show furnished rooms in painted schemes: a sitting room with red carpet and bookcases, a green and yellow parlour, a panelled library with a fireplace and shelves, and a dining room with red carpet and dark wood. A designer might take the tonal pairings, such as deep red with mustard walls, or green with cream and gold, as palettes for matt wall finishes.
