The details in each element of Perrin & Rowe’s Armstrong collection of bathroom fittings evoke the aesthetics of the English industrial revolution. The handles echo the shapes of bobbins once used in textile production, while the elegant curve of the spout lends a sense of understated sophistication that does not go unnoticed. This collection, consisting of taps, bathtub drains, accessories and shower solutions, is characterised by hand-polished finishes that bring a timeless, classic style to the bathroom. The proportions are carefully studied and the knurled details of the handles add a fresh and distinctive touch to the ambience.
Armstrong represents one of the most comprehensive lines ever produced by Perrin & Rowe, encompassing variants ranging from single lever basin mixers to three-hole wall and deck-mounted faucets. The range also includes an iconic freestanding bath-shower mixer, as well as a shower set complete with hand shower and ceiling rose. Each piece is available in a variety of finishes: Chrome, Nickel or Pewter for those who want a classic silver effect, or 24-carat Gold, Polished Brass or Satin Brass for a golden glow. Unlacquered brass finishes are designed to develop a unique patina over time, enhancing the natural beauty of the alloy. For an authentic industrial aesthetic, the English Bronze finish offers a darker metallic tone that emphasises the knurled workmanship.
Each faucet is made from the highest quality brass, cast by hand in moulds at a temperature of 1700 °Fahrenheit. Once finished, expert polishers intervene to achieve a deep, lustrous finish, the result of a long and meticulous process. The freestanding bathtub-shower mixer, for example, can take more than four hours to perfect to achieve the standards of excellence that characterise the entire collection.
