Twyfords International | Damask Countertop Semi-Recessed Basin

Add a touch of 1980s opulence to your bathroom with this genuine Damask countertop basin. Manufactured by Twyfords, the “International” model was designed for high-end vanity installations. It is finished in Damask: a rich, sophisticated red that offers a more subtle and muted tone than traditional burgundy, making it a versatile choice for a moody, atmospheric interior.

Product Features and Installation

The International is a semi-recessed vanity basin featuring a prominent 10cm ceramic lip at the front. This design allows the basin to be dropped into a countertop or vanity unit while the decorative front edge overhangs the furniture, creating a clean, integrated look.

The basin features 3 tap holes, offering excellent versatility for your brassware:

• Install a modern 3-hole mixer tap for a contemporary look.

• Use two separate hot and cold pillar taps and finish the central hole with a coordinated chrome plug.

Condition and Restoration

As a reclaimed item, this basin has been fully professionally restored. It is in very good condition for its age, retaining the deep lustre of the original Damask glaze. While there are a few minor age-related marks, the vitreous china is structurally sound and free from major defects, ready for a second life in a heritage or retro-inspired project.
