Gold Shower Head

The close-up is unmistakable: the nozzles are not small dots flush with the surface, but long, conical white nubs that stand proud of the gold. They are grouped at the top of the tube, on one face only.

This shape has a practical benefit: each nub is isolated from its neighbours, and a swipe of the finger is enough to lift the limescale clinging to it, without scratching the metal.

The spray comes from this small area; you aim it simply by turning your wrist. The resulting spray stays concentrated, useful for rinsing a zone or the shower tray precisely.

The diagram gives 210 mm long. The tube is slim and regular, in a satin brushed gold, interrupted only by the nub zone at the top and the thread at the bottom.

In the lifestyle photo, it stands upright in a gold ring holder, at the end of a gold hose: a pencil silhouette against a grey wall.

Stainless steel is the material stated by the supplier. This model differs from our Luxe Or in its protruding nubs and greater length. Its slimness makes it an elegant piece in a walk-in shower in neutral tones.

The gold end piece is marked G1/2: it screws by hand onto the nut of a standard shower hose (1/2″, i.e. 15x21). Remember the flat washer in the nut; no tools are needed.

Its small diameter makes it a good companion for round-ring holders; in a large cradle made for a classic handset, it could have some play.

Only the shower head is stated. To care for the gold, use a soft cloth and soapy water, with no acidic products. If the thread seeps after fitting, check the washer rather than tightening further.
