 FOR SALE : VICTORIAN SHANKS GENTLEMAN'S BATHROOM SUITE For something really special, I have a 4 piece bathroom suite from Shanks which was supplied in 1898 and is beautifully enclosed in mahogany casing. This bathroom has been regularly used for the last 20+ years, but we are selling the house and I want to see if it can be found a decent home rather than be dumped in a skip by any new owners who want something white and shiny ! The pieces are;
1) 6 ft double ended cast iron enamelled bath with canopy shower in zinc at one end. Shower control is 4 position offering overhead and side jets
2) adjoining sitz bath/bidet again in zinc and again 4 position shower control
3) thunderbox toilet (not original pan and not original cistern) but still with brass insert where the crapper style handle is located in the seat box
4) washstand (original marble top with inset basin broken some time in past and replaced with something modern but cupboard is still good)
5) 2 sets of Minton tiles, mainly white but with a set of patterned borders, and wooden (assumed mahogany) moulding around tiles ... tiles form splashback over bath side and washbasin.
The suite is situated in my house, part of a large mansion property in the merchant's quarter of residential Nottingham. The bathroom is functioning but is ready for resto (re-enamel, re-varnish and replacement of non original parts). It would make an attractive package for the larger period house where someone is searching for something unique, original and complete.

As with previous respondent, I am quite taken back by this amazingly complete "moment in time" bathroom suite. I am currently restoring an A-listed 1860 castle in the highlands - sadly the interior is totally shot. I found the remains of a single thunderbox under the rubble, so your suite is just the job. Any indication of price? David on 01575 560433

HelloooO! Lovely set shame re: sink but it does deserve gentle refurbishment and a good home. (We just bought an old house and we are removing a vile modern B&Q set.) But we are private buyers eg: not dealers so we are unsure if you are expecting quite high offers or are happy to speak on the phone to discuss? We can send our very tolerant plumber to remove with care :) Cate 07799661781 (please call afternoons best).
