Balterley Decorative Basin Pedestal | Champagne with Floral Motif

Complete your vintage bathroom restoration with this genuine Champagne floral basin pedestal. Manufactured by Balterley Bathrooms during the late 1980s and early 1990s, this pedestal is a standout piece of decorative sanitaryware. Finished in the classic “Champagne”—a warm, rich cream—it features a distinctive floral motif embossed at the base, offering a level of ornamental detail that was a hallmark of Balterley’s high-end ranges.

Ornate Late-80s Design

Balterley Bathrooms was renowned for its romantic, country-style designs that moved away from the minimalism of the early decade:

• Floral Relief Detail: The base of the pedestal is adorned with a delicate floral pattern, perfect for those maintaining a coordinated “Floral” or “Victorian-revival” suite.

• Champagne Palette: This warm, “dark cream” glaze provides a soft, luxurious alternative to white and creates an inviting, traditional atmosphere.

• Substantial Presence: At 83cm in height, this pedestal provides elegant proportions and sturdy support for full-sized basins from the same era.

Condition and Compatibility

As a genuine piece of vintage ceramic from a discontinued manufacturer, this pedestal has been carefully inspected:

• Very Good Overall Condition: The vitreous china is in excellent shape with no chips or cracks.

• Integrity Guaranteed: The glaze remains vibrant and high-gloss, with the floral motif retaining its original crisp definition.

• Ideal for Replacement: This pedestal is compatible with most Balterley basins from the 1980s and 90s, making it a vital find if your original unit has been damaged or lost.

Why Choose a Champagne Floral Basin Pedestal?

The Champagne floral basin pedestal is a highly specialised item. Because Balterley often used unique mounting profiles and decorative heights, a standard modern pedestal will rarely align correctly with a vintage Balterley basin. By sourcing this original piece, you ensure the structural safety of your basin while preserving the aesthetic harmony and value of your heritage suite.

Safe and Secure Delivery

Shipping tall ceramic pedestals requires specialist handling to prevent transit stress and impact damage. We offer secure delivery at an extra cost, utilising reinforced, vertical-support packaging to ensure your Balterley pedestal arrives in perfect condition. Alternatively, collection is available from our workshop.
