 ELAINE PAGE'S CANOPY BATH COMES TO SALVO
THIS year will be the fourth year running that Cronins Reclamation have exhibited at the Salvo Fair. They usually bring a good mix of architectural and decorative antiques, some reclaimed materials, and the odd rustic feature - like a giant copper cheese vat.
This year's star attraction will be a fully restored Shanks and Co cast iron and zinc canopy shower bath, c1910, which comes complete with its orginal hardwood enclosure at 6ft 6in long and standing 7ft 6in high, and selling for £12,500 +vat. The bath came from a house off the King's Road, Chelsea, installed in the home of Sir Frank Lowe, and subsequently owned by the actress and singer Elaine Page of 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' fame.
Damian Cronin will also be bringing Parquets de Versailles flooring panels handmade using reclaimed old French oak, which is a new range which they will both supply and fit.
He and John Bodrell of Cast Iron Reclamation Co have started a new business called Woodstone dealing in reclaimed stone and wood flooring.
