Avocado Twyford Basin & Pedestal | Classic 1970s Retro

Own the most iconic colour in bathroom history with this genuine avocado basin & pedestal. Manufactured by the legendary Twyford Bathrooms, this set represents the pinnacle of 1970s and 80s style. While once considered a relic of the past, Avocado has seen a massive resurgence in modern interior design, prized for its earthy, organic warmth and its ability to act as a high-impact statement piece in a contemporary or retro-themed home.

The Iconic Avocado Aesthetic

Twyfords was one of the premier producers of the Avocado glaze, known for a deep, saturated green that retains its vibrancy decades later.

• Bold Statement Design: Whether you are building a “Jungle-style” bathroom with lush greenery or a sharp, retro-modern cloakroom, this basin provides an authentic pop of colour that white ceramics simply cannot match.

• Restoration Hero: This set is the ideal solution for homeowners looking to replace a damaged or cracked sink in an existing Avocado suite without having to replace the entire bathroom.

Condition and Professional Restoration

As a genuine vintage item, this suite has been meticulously reclaimed and handled by our specialists:

• Immaculate Condition: Both the basin and pedestal are in exceptional condition for their age. The vitreous china has been professionally descaled and polished to restore its original factory-fresh lustre.

• Modern Functionality: Despite its vintage heritage, the basin is compatible with any standard modern pillar taps and waste plugs, allowing you to choose high-quality brass or chrome fittings to complete the look.

• Structural Integrity: Guaranteed to be free from major chips, cracks, or browning, ensuring a hygienic and durable fixture for daily use.
