Retro 2 Tone Brown Toilet | Close Coupled Pan & Cistern

Make a bold architectural statement with this unique 2-tone brown toilet. Finished in a distinctive tan-and-dark-brown gradient, this suite is most likely a high-end import from the continent. The two-tone glaze was a signature of experimental 1970s and 80s design, offering a depth and warmth that defined the “earth tone” movement of the era.

Product Features and Modern Utility

Despite its vintage origins, this toilet is designed for modern convenience. It features a standard bottom-inlet and bottom-outlet (BIBO) configuration, making it compatible with most contemporary plumbing layouts.

To ensure the suite is ready for immediate use, we supply it with:

• Brand-new internal cistern fittings for a reliable flush.

• A high-quality chrome flush handle.

• A pan design that is compatible with standard modern toilet seats, allowing you to choose a finish that complements the unique tan and brown glaze.

Condition and Quality

This reclaimed suite is in very good overall condition. While there are some minor age-related marks and surface scratches consistent with its history, the vitreous china glaze remains strong and vibrant. Crucially, there is no crazing, no chips, and no cracks, ensuring the unit is both structurally sound and sanitary.
