British kitchen and bathroom fittings manufacturer Perrin & Rowe has extended its Georgian collection with a new single lever basin mixer.
Designed to reflect the motifs of the existing collection while offering the benefits of a modern tap, the new mixer features a single lever placed on top of the body to allow the porcelain Perrin & Rowe indice to take pride of place. Its country-style spout has a 140mm overhang for easy installation behind or to the side of an undercounter basin.
The new Georgian Single Lever Mixer was shown for the first time at Salone del Mobile and will be available from Summer 2024. It comes in Chrome, Nickel, Pewter, English Bronze and 24-Carat Plated Gold as well as its ‘living finishes’ in Polished Brass and Satin Brass.
Nigel Palmer, head of communications marketing for House of Rohl, said: “The early part of the 20th century was the golden age of travel. Luxury liners, pan-continental train travel and extravagant motor cars took the rich to the finest hotels. As today, the designs and ideas that impressed them were imported into the home. Bathrooms became large, indulgent spaces for cast-iron, clawed feet baths, filled with steaming hot water from gleaming chrome taps. Bathroom brassware was on display, so became more ornate. Perrin & Rowe’s Georgian collection reflects this period. Single lever basin mixers are a relatively recent innovation and wouldn’t have been part of a bathroom 100 years ago, but the simplicity and functionality of the form makes it an essential option for today."
