Pompadour Armitage Shanks Cloakroom Basin | 2TH

Bring a burst of 1980s character to your home with this genuine pompadour basin. Manufactured by Armitage Shanks, this cloakroom model is finished in the brand’s exclusive “Pompadour” glaze—a sophisticated, high-saturation pink with distinct warm orange undertones. Unlike the soft pastels of previous decades, Pompadour is a confident, “sunset” shade designed to make a bold architectural statement in any compact space.

Vibrant 1980s Design

The Pompadour range was a signature of Armitage Shanks’ premium collection during the 1980s:

• Exclusive Colourway: This specific tonal blend was unique to Armitage Shanks, making it a critical find for anyone needing a “like-for-like” replacement to match an existing Pompadour suite.

• Coordinated Restoration: Looking to build a full room? We stock a variety of low-level and close-coupled toilets in the same Pompadour glaze to help you create a perfectly matched, authentic retro suite.

• Compact Proportions: With a width of 46cm and a depth of just 30cm, this basin is the ideal size for under-stairs cloakrooms, guest bathrooms, or narrow en-suites.

Condition and Quality

As a genuine vintage ceramic, this basin has been carefully reclaimed and inspected to ensure its longevity:

• Excellent Overall Condition: The vitreous china has been professionally cleaned and polished to revive the incredible depth of the Pompadour finish.

• Standard Configuration: Features the traditional 2-tap hole (2TH) layout, making it ready to be paired with vintage pillar taps or modern high-quality replacements.

• Integrity Guaranteed: Verified to be free of major chips or cracks, ensuring a hygienic, beautiful installation.

Why Choose a Pompadour Basin?

The pompadour basin is a sought-after piece for those who appreciate the bold, maximalist aesthetics of the late 20th century. Because Pompadour is a discontinued and highly specific pigment, this original Armitage Shanks piece is the only way to maintain tonal consistency in a heritage repair. It also serves as a fantastic “pop” of colour for designers creating a modern space with a nostalgic, playful edge.

Safe and Secure Delivery

Shipping specialised ceramics requires expert handling. We offer secure delivery at an extra cost, utilising reinforced, shock-absorbent packaging to ensure your Pompadour basin arrives in perfect condition. Alternatively, collection is available from our workshop.
