The 1990s Ideal Standard Close-Coupled Suite in Indian Ivory

The 1990s marked a shift towards softer, more organic neutrals in British bathroom design, moving away from the high-saturation shades of the previous decades. This genuine Ideal Standard close-coupled toilet exemplifies that era, offering a beautifully subtle alternative to stark modern white.

An exceptional find for any heritage restoration project, this classic close-coupled toilet brings authentic 1990s character to your home. Finished in the highly sought-after Indian Ivory shade, the suite combines a beautifully proportioned ceramic pan and matching cistern to deliver a cohesive, vintage aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with traditional or country-style interiors.

Design Features

• Iconic 1990s Colourway: Finished in genuine Indian Ivory, a sophisticated neutral that is subtly lighter than Champagne and features a distinctive, delicate green hue.

• Premium British Craftsmanship: Manufactured by Ideal Standard, a brand synonymous with durable, high-quality vitreous china.

• Modern Plumbing Compatibility: Upgraded with brand-new bottom inlet cistern fittings and a gleaming chrome flush handle for reliable daily operation.

• Streamlined Profile: The close-coupled configuration neatly couples the cistern directly to the pan, making it a compact and tidy choice for both spacious bathrooms and smaller cloakrooms.

Why Choose an Indian Ivory Toilet?

Because Indian Ivory was a highly specific shade utilized by major manufacturers like Ideal Standard, Royal Doulton, ALLIA, and Stelrad Doulton, finding an exact match for a damaged fixture can be a nightmare. Modern white replacements disrupt the harmony of a preserved period bathroom. This fully restored suite allows you to replace a broken unit seamlessly or build a complete vintage look from scratch without compromising on original colour accuracy or structural integrity.
