1970s Johnson Bros Vintage Turquoise Pedestal Washbasin

Inject authentic retro charm into your cloakroom or period bathroom with this genuine Johnson Brothers pedestal sink. Finished in the iconic and highly sought-after Turquoise colour—often marketed under the Trent Ware name—this mid-century set features sleek lines, a generous bowl, and traditional styling that seamlessly elevates any vintage restoration project.

Design Features

• Classic Mid-Century Profile: Features clean architectural lines characteristic of 1970s British manufacturing, complete with a built-in soap recess.

• Dual Tap Configuration: Cast with two tap holes, perfectly proportioned for standard hot and cold pillar taps.

• Iconic Turquoise Finish: A vibrant, retro shade that matches standardized 1960s and 1970s coloured ceramic suites across major British heritage brands.

Condition

Both the ceramic basin and pedestal are preserved in immaculate condition, free from chips, cracks, or surface crazing across the glaze. As a genuine reclaimed vintage item, minor handling marks consistent with age may be present, but the overall high-gloss finish remains exceptionally vibrant.
