It is available in either an aged brass or aged nickel finish and has an updated spring loaded hard wood spindle. I comes mounted onto a solid oak backplate and is suitable for use with most modern day brands of luxury toilet roll paper.
Supplied with both fixings, fixing instructions and a copy of the 1884 ‘Ironmonger’ periodical, which many customers are reported to frame and put on display in their bathrooms.
