1950s Royal Doulton Wall Mounted Basin in Turquoise

Introduce a striking splash of mid-century charm to your cloakroom or bathroom with this genuine 1950s wall-mounted basin. Manufactured by the highly prestigious Royal Doulton, this vitreous china sink is finished in a vibrant, high-gloss Turquoise—a colour that defined the playful sophistication of the era. Featuring two tap holes and a highly practical central soap recess, it is an authentic piece of post-war design that functions beautifully in both vintage and eclectic modern spaces.

Design Features

• Vibrant Turquoise Finish: A beautifully saturated, authentic mid-century shade that acts as an instant focal point.

• Integrated Soap Recess: Positioned neatly between the two tap holes, keeping your basin top tidy and free of clutter.

• Dual Tap Configuration: Standard two-hole setup, ready for traditional hot and cold pillar taps.

• Versatile Mounting: Designed to be mounted securely to your wall using traditional sink brackets.

Condition

This reclaimed basin is in very good vintage condition overall. The turquoise glaze has retained its original depth and brilliant shine, with no signs of crazing or unsightly chips on the main body.

Please Note: There is a slight crack at the back of the basin (pictured). This does not affect the structural integrity of the front display but can be professionally repaired by our team prior to dispatch at an additional cost. Please contact us to discuss repair options.
