Blue 2-Tone Retro Cloakroom Basin | 1970s Vintage Sink
Add a splash of continental character to your home with this beautiful blue 2-tone basin. Likely of French origin and dating from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, this basin features a sophisticated gradient finish that was a hallmark of high-end retro design.
