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.

Its compact footprint makes it the perfect choice for a stylish downstairs WC or a space-conscious ensuite where a standard white sink simply won’t do.
