Perrin & Rowe is famous for its traditional English brassware, which is handcast to the highest quality. Its Traditional and Georgian ranges represent the definitive modern versions of early 20th-century designs. Perrin & Rowe’s new Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer completes its Georgian collection.
Nigel Palmer, head of communications marketing for House of Rohl says, “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 fret baths filled with steaming hot water from gleaming chrome taps. Bathroom brassware was on display, so it 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”.
The new Perrin & Rowe Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer had to reflect the design motifs of the collection but offer the smooth-working benefits of a modern mixer. By placing the lever on top of the body, the symmetry of the tap is preserved, and the porcelain Perrin & Rowe indice is given pride of place. The country-style spout has a generous 140mm overhang for easy installation either behind or to the side of an undermounted basin. It can be neatly accessorised with a Georgian wall-mounted soap dispenser.
Perrin & Rowe 3770 Georgian Single Lever Mixer in Satin Brass – One of Seven Available Finishes.
The new Perrin & Rowe Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer is available in Chrome Nickel, Pewter, English Bronze, and 24-carat plated gold, as well as ‘living finishes’ Polished Brass and Satin Brass, which will take on a unique patina over time. Every Perrin & Rowe tap is handcrafted in the UK in small patches to achieve the best possible quality, and each one is water-tested before final cleaning and packing. Perrin & Rowe can provide spares for almost every tap it has ever made to last for years without replacement – making it a more sustainable choice.
The Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer was shown for the first time at Salone del Mobile and will be available from Summer 2024.
