Chiffon Pink Shires Naiad Pedestal Basin | 1-Tap Hole

Restore your bathroom with this genuine Chiffon Pink pedestal basin. Part of the iconic Naiad range by Shires, this basin is finished in the brand’s exclusive Chiffon Pink—a soft, airy pastel that defined the lighter side of 1980s and 90s interior design. The Naiad range was one of Shires’ most successful lines, prized for its clean, dependable silhouette and high-quality vitreous china.

Condition: Immaculate New Old Stock (NOS)

Finding original pink ceramics in an unused state is a significant rarity. This item is New Old Stock, meaning it has remained in storage since its production and has never been installed or plumbed.

• Factory-Fresh Finish: The Chiffon Pink glaze is in immaculate condition, free from surface scratches, limescale, or dulling common in reclaimed items.

• Structural Perfection: Guaranteed to be free from any chips, cracks, or manufacturing defects.

Product Features and Design

• 1-Tap Hole Configuration (1TH): Specifically designed for a single mixer tap, offering a more contemporary look and improved functionality compared to traditional pillar taps.

• Pedestal Compatible: This basin is designed specifically for pedestal mounting. Note that this listing is for the basin only (as seen in the photos); the matching pedestal is not included.

• Authenticity: Includes the original manufacturing code BS5506/3 on the underside, ensuring a perfect technical match for those replacing an existing Naiad unit.

Why Choose Chiffon Pink?

Chiffon Pink is a highly specific tonal variant that is notoriously difficult to match with modern “off-the-shelf” pinks. By sourcing this genuine Chiffon Pink pedestal basin, you maintain the colour continuity of your Shires suite. Because it is New Old Stock, you are essentially getting a brand-new 30-year-old basin that meets modern hygiene standards while preserving period-correct aesthetics.
