Traditional bathroom taps serve as more than just functional fixtures and are iconic elements that evoke a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance in any bathroom space. Rooted in history and craftsmanship, traditional tapware offers a blend of classic design, durability, and sophistication that transcends trends. Straying away from the minimal and sleek structures of modern designs, this range offers intricate embellishments with elegant silhouettes blended with high-quality materials like brass. The durability of these products is further enhanced by the polished, matt and brushed finishes which make maintenance easy and the fixture less prone to oxidation and corrosion.
The category of old fashioned bath taps features graceful elements with curved lines, intricate details, and ornate embellishments that exude sophistication and refinement. Often featuring crosshead or lever handles, which offer a classic and timeless look that complements the overall design aesthetic, these taps provide easy operation and precise control over water flow and temperature, enhancing the user experience regardless of its vintage design.

Design Elements of Traditional Taps
Old fashioned taps feature a variety of design elements that contribute to their classic and elegant appearance. This includes engraved details where the taps typically feature lettering, handcrafted or machine-tooled, on the head to indicate hot and cold water flow. Designed with two handles that offer separate hot and cold water flow, these motifs make the tap stand out, making it more user-friendly for daily usability. From stunning polished to brushed finishes, the taps also incorporate stunning levers with white or black accents that provide a firm grip while blending perfectly with the tap’s body.
Handle designs are diversified into levers, crossheads and pinch handles. These traditional style bathroom taps with wide spouts allow the most pleasing cascade of a waterfall effect while another selection also offers straight, elongated spout designs. Tap holes range from product to product and match perfectly with our assortment of basin taps, shower fittings and bathroom accessories.
