Armitage Shanks Cottage Cistern Lid in Champagne

Ensure your bathroom suite remains complete and coordinated with this genuine champagne cistern lid. Manufactured by Armitage Shanks, this replacement lid belongs to the classic Cottage range, a popular line throughout the 1990s known for its traditional, soft-curved aesthetic. Finished in the celebrated “Champagne” glaze—a rich, creamy gold—this lid is the ideal fix for an existing suite where the original ceramic has been cracked or damaged.

Authentic Armitage Shanks Heritage

The Cottage range was designed to offer a timeless, “country-style” look to British bathrooms.

• Exact Tonal Match: Because Champagne was a factory-standard colour for Armitage Shanks, this original 1990s lid ensures a 100% colour match that modern “off-white” replacements simply cannot achieve.

• Vitreous China Quality: Built with the durability and heavy-duty glaze that made Armitage Shanks the leader in UK sanitaryware.

Condition and Quality

As a genuine reclaimed item, this lid has been meticulously inspected to ensure it meets high standards for restoration:

• Very Good Condition: The ceramic is in excellent shape, with no chips or cracks.

• Pristine Finish: The glaze has been professionally cleaned and polished, reviving its original 1990s lustre.

• Ready for Use: Free from the heavy limescale or staining often found on salvaged items.

Why Choose This Champagne Cistern Lid?

The champagne cistern lid is one of the most requested replacement parts in the architectural salvage market. Because the Cottage range features specific dimensions and a unique rim profile, only a genuine Armitage Shanks lid will provide the correct fit and visual harmony for your cistern. Replacing just the lid is a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to replacing an entire toilet suite due to a single accidental break.
