About the Item

An antique Victorian Twyfords ceramic campaign sink and stand. Dating to the late 19th century, this unique sink would have once been used by a travelling officer in the British army. The porcelain basin sits upon a wrought iron stand with two shelves, both showing a desirable time worn look, offering a glimpse into its history. The base even has a small rail still attached where the travelling soldier would have once hung his towel. Today, it would make for a quirky basin in a Victorian style home or pride of place in a museum showcasing 19th century heritage. Twyford Hanley In 1680, Joshua Twyford was the first of the Twyford family to establish a commercial pottery near Shelton Old Hall, Hanley. At its peak in the 20th century, the Twyfords company operated in four continents; with factories in the UK, South Africa, India, and Australia. Thomas Twyford established his first factory in Bath Street, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent – hence the company name Twyford Hanley. The company ceased in the UK in 2011, but unique sinks such as this hold its legacy. Additional dimensions Stand - Width 47cm x Depth 42cm (18.5 x 16.54in)

Antique Twyfords Sink with Cast Iron Stand
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
An antique Twyfords marbleised sink with a BICLAM cast iron stand from the Simon Kirby Museum of Bathroom Sanitaryware. Dating to circa 1883, this original Victorian sink would make a beautiful addition to a vintage bathroom or period style cloakroom. This sink sees a marbleised basin with a shaped splash back, decorative recessed soap dishes and clam shell overflow above an ornately cast iron standing bracket in a vibrant mustard colour, showcasing a centurion design to either side. 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.
