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.

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.
