Why Choose a Vintage Towel Rail?

  • Classic Detailing: Ornate end caps and scalloped rails evoke period aesthetics, perfect for heritage renovations or adding old-world warmth to modern spaces.

  • Solid Construction: Crafted from solid brass or stainless steel with premium powder-coat or lacquered finishes to resist moisture and corrosion.

  • Easy Integration: Coordinates beautifully with vintage and contemporary tapware, fixtures, and cabinetry hardware.

Styles & Configurations

  • Single Towel Rails: A single-tier rail accented by decorative end pieces, ideal for displaying one bath sheet in guest or powder rooms.

  • Double Towel Rails: Two parallel bars connected by ornate stiles for ample hanging space in family or main bathrooms.

  • Heated Towel Rails: Low-profile heating element concealed within classic tubular rails, combining nostalgia with modern warmth.

  • Towel Ladders: Vertical, multi-rung rails that lean or mount against your wall, offering plentiful hanging capacity and a striking architectural feature, perfect for tall walls or corridor-style bathrooms.

Materials & Finishes

Antique Brass offers an aged patina finish that deepens over time, harmonising with timber vanities and stone tiling.

If you’re after something different, here are some other vintage finishes:

  • Polished Chrome: Reflective surface with subtle vintage curves, pairs well with both retro and industrial décor.

  • Matte Black: Non-gloss coating for bold contrast against light walls and classic tile patterns.

  • Brushed Nickel: Soft silver tone with a muted grain, offering balanced versatility in traditional or transitional bathrooms.

Installation & Maintenance

  • Secure Wall Anchors: Supplied with heavy-duty fixings for plasterboard, masonry, or timber studs to support loaded towels.

  • Adjustable Mounting: Telescopic brackets allow fine-tuning of rail height and projection from the wall.

  • Low-Care Upkeep: Wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve decorative finishes.

Accessory Pairing

  • Vintage Tapware & Basin Mixers: Complete the period look with cross-handle mixers and gooseneck spouts in matching finishes.

  • Robe Hooks & Toilet Roll Holders: Coordinate with matching brass or nickel accessories to carry the style throughout.

  • Mirrors & Frames: Pair with ornate or bevel-edged mirrors for a cohesive vintage vignette.
