Vintage Twyfords Basin & Pedestal | Primrose Yellow (c.1958)

Own a unique piece of British manufacturing history with this vintage Twyfords basin & pedestal. This stunning suite is finished in Primrose Yellow, a quintessential mid-century shade that radiates warmth and period charm.

What sets this piece apart is its incredible provenance: it was reclaimed directly from the Twyfords Collection, a private museum formerly housed within the Twyfords headquarters. This is not just a sink; it is a documented piece of the brand’s heritage.

Product Features & Design

• Statement Dimensions: A significantly large basin offering ample “shelf” space for toiletries—perfect for a master bathroom or a spacious cloakroom.

• 1950s Craftsmanship: Dated to circa 1958, featuring the robust Vitreous China quality for which Twyfords’ Stoke-on-Trent factories were world-renowned.

• Authentic Mid-Century Aesthetic: The bold pedestal and wide-set basin define the luxury bathroom style of the late 1950s.

Condition Report

Considering its nearly 70-year history, this set is in immaculate condition. The glaze remains vibrant with no cracks or crazing.

• Note: There are a small number of very slight chips on the left-hand side of the basin. These have been clearly photographed and do not detract from the structural integrity or overall beauty of the piece.
