Armitage Shanks Carlton Sink in Romany | Rare 1980s “Oxblood” Suite
Add a dramatic, period-accurate focal point to your home with this Carlton sink in Romany. Produced exclusively by Armitage Shanks for a limited time in the 1980s, ‘Romany’ was their sophisticated answer to the burgundy trend. A slightly lighter, more vibrant red than standard burgundy, this shade is almost identical to the modern, trending Oxblood colour.
Product Features & Design
-
Brand Heritage: A genuine piece from the prestigious Armitage Shanks Carlton range, known for its generous proportions and classic 1980s silhouette.

Large Format: With a width of 67cm, this is a substantial statement piece that offers ample space and a premium feel.
