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.

• Modern Compatibility: This basin features one tap hole (1TH), making it perfectly suited for a contemporary or vintage-style monobloc mixer tap.

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

• Rare Colourway: Because Romany was only produced for a short window, finding a matching basin and pedestal is exceptionally difficult today.

Condition Report

This set is in good vintage condition and ready for installation.

• Details: There are a couple of chips to the pedestal and one small chip to the rear of the basin where it fixes to the wall.

• Note: The basin chip is positioned so that it is not noticeable once installed against the wall.
