Retro brass shower system with bath spout and two handles

The model comes in four versions. The porcelain handles are white, with a blue decoration, and the handset has the same porcelain handle. The brass handles are four-armed crosses, entirely metal.

Each comes with or without a shelf: a brass gallery with a rim, fixed to the tube, for soap and bottles. Choose porcelain for a country-house look, brass for a plainer bathroom.

All four versions share the same spout, the same rain shower head and the same height; only the handle and storage change, as does the price.

The mixer is controlled by two handles: one for hot water, one for cold. In the centre, a diverter button sends the water either to the spout or to the shower.

The 15 cm spout points down towards the bath to fill it. The supplier states a brass body and a ceramic valve core.

At the top, the round 20 cm rain shower head is carried by a 33 cm arm; the handset sits on a sliding holder, with a hose stated as 150 cm on the dimensioned photo.

The dimensioned photo gives an adjustable height of 117 to 138 cm. Measure from your water supplies to the ceiling to check the rain shower head fits.

The eccentric connectors accept a gap of 13.5 to 17 cm between the hot and the cold supply: measure this centre distance on the wall, from centre to centre.

If you are replacing a wall-mounted bath mixer, it fits onto the same supplies. The tube is then fixed to the wall with the fixings supplied. Finally, check that the bath sits right under the spout, which projects 15 cm from the wall.
