Shanks Floor Standing Brass Bath & Shower Mixer
Shanks Floor Standing Brass Bath & Shower Mixer
Description: Exceptional quality Shanks of Barrhead brass bath and shower mixer tap set. This original antique bath mixer is in solid cast brass and would have been made in the 1920’s to 30’s in Scotland. With a pair of heavy brass upstands, perfect for use with a roll top or freestanding bath. Photographed here in a centre back position on the bath, enabling the bath overflow and plug to be fixed to the bath standpipes. The set has been carefully hand polished to retain an antique patina to the brass. Supplied with its copper pipework and fittings which are all 22mm, fully compatible with modern bathroom plumbing.
Condition: Very good. The brass has been hand polished and is unlacquered, therefore the brass will gently age and can be further polished to maintain this level of shine. There is the tiniest blemish to the cold indices and a chip on the ceramic handheld show arm (see photo: 6). The taps have been fully refurbished and are sold ready to install. The handheld shower arm is supplied with a replacement white rubber buffer.
