Category: Vintage washbasins

Absolutely! A vintage washbasin can be beautifully integrated into a modern bathroom, adding a unique, stylish touch. Four good reasons for the popular mix-and-match trend:

Contrast and individuality: the use of a vintage washbasin creates an interesting contrast to the modern elements in the bathroom and gives the room an individual touch that stands out from usual furniture store standards.

Timeless elegance: Vintage designs are timeless and elegant. A vintage washbasin can therefore bring a touch of class and sophistication to a modern bathroom.

Functionality: Our vintage washbasins are combined with a modern, high-quality ceramic basin. The drawers and compartments are converted so that they offer plenty of storage space and are easy to access. We can equip the drawers with compartments on request.

Sustainability: The reuse of vintage furniture contributes to sustainability by conserving resources. This aspect is more modern than any supposedly fashionable piece of furniture, which usually has to be discarded after a few years, while our design classics will easily survive the next 50 years.

Vintage is an English word that means "old-fashioned", "old", "classic", "from a certain time". It is therefore a very broad term. Generally speaking, "vintage" refers to the fact that something comes from a bygone era, but it is often used in connection with positive aspects such as quality, aesthetics and timeless style. Older furniture is therefore considered vintage if it is considered particularly valuable or appealing due to its design, craftsmanship or rarity.

In furniture circles, a distinction is made between vintage and antique. A piece of furniture that is at least 40, or even 60 or 70 years old is referred to as "vintage", whereas we only speak of antiques from around 100 years old. However, as this definition is rather unknown and the terms "antique" and "vintage" are often used as synonyms, on this page we have combined both our few vintage pieces of furniture (e.g. the Warrings Chippendale chests of drawers) and the numerous older chests of drawers that have survived for 100 or even 200 years on one page.
