About the Item
An extremely rare Antique Shanks
Co Marble Washstand.
An exceptional example of Edwardian bathroom design, this authentic Shanks
Co marble washstand combines functionality with enduring elegance.
Crafted in their factory in Barrhead, Scotland, it features striking veined marble with a lipped surround to contain water spills and a tall splashback fitted with its original glass shelf. The piece is supported by smart, tapered chrome legs to the front and retains its original chrome taps and grillAn , a testament to its quality. Height given does not include the splashback.
Please note this item has been dismantled for transport to its new home.
Founded by the enterprising Scottish plumber John Shanks, the company grew from a modest operation in the 1850s into a major sanitaryware manufacturer. Shanks' dedication to innovation and craftsmanship helped revolutionize indoor plumbing in Britain. Eventually, the firm merged with Armitage to become Armitage Shanks, a name still synonymous with quality bathroom fixtures today.
A rare survivor in very good condition considering its age, this washstand is both a practical feature and a piece of design history.
