Antique Art Deco Double Sink

A reclaimed Pountney & Co Illustrous pedestal sink with rare octagonal taps, raised splash back and sweeping pedestal from the Simon Kirby Museum of Bathroom Sanitaryware. Originating from early 20th century England, this striking sink showcases vibrant pink edging that only adds to the quality Art Deco design. A quality statement piece perfect for a traditional powder room or vintage inspired ensuite, pairing the smart elegance of Edwardian styling with the flair of English craftsmanship. Pountney & Co Bristol-based company Pountney & Co. used the trading name ‘Bristol’ on much of their wares and usually gave most items a cod-Latin name, such as Superious, Massivus, Superbus and so on. The name of this basin is the Illustrous, crafted in a desirable 1930s Art Deco style. The Simon Kirby Museum of Bathroom Sanitaryware Sanitaryware extraordinaire and enthusiast Simon Kirby was the proud owner of a rare and impressive collection of antique toilets, basins and baths. Until 2016 Kirby was the managing director of Thomas Crapper & Co; he spent more than 40 years carefully sourcing these specialist pieces, making it his vocation to ensure such rare and valuable sanitaryware was saved and preserved, creating what was known as the Thomas Crapper Museum. Over the years, the company museum has not been open to the public, with only a few history enthusiasts and keen customers having been invited to view. Names such as Thomas Crapper, George Jennings, Shanks, Doulton and Co and Twyfords form part of this outstanding collection that demonstrates the development of sanitaryware over the centuries. Although Kirby sold the iconic Thomas Crapper company nearly ten years ago, he remains an expert in the history of the ‘smallest room’ and now serves as a consultant to the Royal Household.
