About the Item

A large glazed stoneware double utility sink by Shanks & Co. circa 1890 - the perfect addition to a country farmhouse kitchen, boot room or a character addition to a contemporary utility room! This antique utility sink features two laundry style Belfast basins – one deeper than the other – each large in size, offering plenty of wash space for a range of jobs. Both are fitted with an original cast iron waste. Transporting as 3 pieces, this large and substantial double basin stands on two matching glazed stoneware legs, creating a traditional, country house look that'll add instant style to any kitchen. Shanks & Co Shanks & Co Ltd was founded by John Shanks in partnership with his brother Andrew in 1851 and quickly became an iconic British company. Based in Paisley, Scotland, together they went on to achieve worldwide success supplying and fitting sanitary ware, including on the Titanic and cruise ships Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.
