Genuine'Shanks' brass horseshoe shower set. Complete with risers and 6 shower roses.
Made in Scotland in around 1910. Can be connected to feed pipes running from behind or below.45" between taps and shower rose, 4.5" between tap centers. Height may be adjusted as desired. All our taps have had the following work completed. Old finish chemically removed by licensed and environmentally responsible local firm. Tap seats re-machined to obviate the risk of slow drips, as is common on old taps.
New compressed fibre washers cut to size by hand using imperial wad punches on a fly press. Spindles lathe turned to meet specific tolerances. Gland nut packing repacked in the traditional way using graphite string. This stops water leaking from below the handles. Polished, again by hand, using a polishing lathe.
See our other listings for more stunning English taps. We operate a small machine shop and can complete custom machining and modifications. We can also get any tap plated in chrome, nickel or copper.
