About the Item

An antique Shanks & Co. Art Nouveau porcelain basin on a pedestal. This late 19th century sink is in a sleek design of an impressive scale. Pairing design with form, the pleasing oval basin, square splashback and curved pedestal with elegant moulds, make this unusual freestanding basin perfect for a main bathroom of an art nouveau style property. Shanks & Co Ltd was founded by John Shanks in partnership with his brother Andrew in 1851 and quickly became an iconic British company.
