Shires Allegro | Harmony Brown 2-Tone Basin & Pedestal

Inject authentic retro flair into your home with this stunning brown basin & pedestal. Part of the celebrated Allegro range by Shires Bathrooms, this set is finished in Harmony Brown, a signature colourway from the 1970s. Harmony Brown was a premium, two-tone finish that featured a sophisticated gradient, moving from a warm tan to a deeper chocolate brown, reflecting the organic, earthy palettes of the era.

Product Features and Condition

The Allegro model is known for its crisp lines and sturdy construction, making it a reliable choice for both period restorations and modern “retro-feature” bathrooms. This basin features a traditional 2-tap hole (2TH) configuration, ideal for a pair of classic hot and cold pillar taps.

This set is New Old Stock (NOS), meaning it has remained in professional storage since the 1970s and has never been used or installed. It is in immaculate overall condition, entirely free from chips, cracks, or surface wear. Choosing an unused vitreous china suite ensures you get the full depth of the original Harmony Brown lustre without the fading or limescale often found in reclaimed pieces.
