Ideal Standard Harvest Gold Basin & Pedestal | Retro 1970s Suite

Infuse your home with 1970s elegance with this genuine harvest gold basin & pedestal. Manufactured by Ideal Standard, the masters of British ceramic design, this set is finished in the quintessential Harvest Gold—a rich, buttery ochre that defined the bold, optimistic interiors of the era. Whether you are replacing a single damaged unit or building a complete vintage sanctuary from the ground up, this set offers the perfect blend of period-correct aesthetics and high-quality manufacturing.

Product Features & Styling

Harvest Gold was the premier alternative to standard white in the 70s, designed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. This suite features a sturdy, architectural pedestal and a generously proportioned basin, reflecting the robust build quality Ideal Standard is known for. With its smooth curves and deep, lustrous glaze, this harvest gold basin & pedestal serves as a striking focal point, pairing beautifully with teak wood, brass fittings, or bold geometric tiling.

Condition & Quality

This reclaimed suite has been professionally cleaned and fully restored to meet modern standards of hygiene and appearance. The vitreous china has been carefully inspected to ensure the glaze has retained its original depth of colour and shine. It is in good overall condition, free from structural cracks and ready to be plumbed into your existing bathroom or cloakroom suite.

Technical Specifications

This set features a standard 2-tap hole configuration, making it suitable for a pair of traditional hot and cold pillar taps. The dimensions are consistent with 1970s Ideal Standard models, providing a comfortable washing height and a wide basin surface that is as practical as it is stylish.

Why Choose Harvest Gold?

As one of the most popular discontinued colours, Harvest Gold items are essential for maintaining the value and integrity of a period home. Sourcing a matching basin and pedestal ensures perfect tonal consistency, which is often hard to find when buying separate pieces.
