Armitage Shanks Jarnit Cistern Lid in Almond Rose

Complete your bathroom restoration with this genuine almond rose cistern lid. Specifically designed for the Jarnit 17781 model by Armitage Shanks, this lid features the range’s signature “shell-shape” aesthetic, a design hallmark of the 1990s that brought textured, organic forms into the British bathroom. Finished in Almond Rose, a delicate and sophisticated pale powder pink, this lid is an essential find for homeowners looking to repair a premium heritage suite.

Sculptural Jarnit Design

The Jarnit range was celebrated for its intricate ceramic detailing, making finding a matching lid particularly difficult:

• Shell-Shape Profile: The 17781 model features a unique fluted/shell-effect lid that provides a decorative, architectural finish to the cistern.

• Almond Rose Palette: One of Armitage Shanks’ most subtle pinks, Almond Rose offers a light, airy, and creamy pastel tone that makes small bathrooms feel more spacious and illuminated.

• Authentic 1990s Provenance: As a discontinued item, this original lid is the only way to ensure the correct fit and tonal harmony for your Jarnit suite.

Condition and Restoration

As a genuine reclaimed part, this lid has been carefully inspected and prepared for a second life:

• Very Good Overall Condition: The vitreous china has been professionally cleaned and polished, reviving the soft, high-gloss Almond Rose finish.

• Integrity Guaranteed: We have verified that there are no chips or cracks, ensuring a hygienic and aesthetically perfect fit.

• Factory Standard: The lid retains its original markings and structural dimensions for an effortless “like-for-like” replacement.

Why Choose an Almond Rose Cistern Lid?

The almond rose cistern lid is a highly specialised part. Because the Jarnit range utilises a unique shell-contoured rim, a standard flat or modern replacement lid will not sit flush or look correct. By choosing this original Armitage Shanks piece, you preserve the value and character of your coordinated bathroom suite, avoiding the immense expense and waste of a full modern replacement.

Safe and Secure Delivery

Shipping individual ceramic lids requires expert handling to protect the decorative shell edges. We offer secure delivery at an extra cost, utilising reinforced, shock-absorbent packaging to ensure your Almond Rose lid arrives in perfect condition. Alternatively, collection is available from our workshop.
