Traditional & Classic Taps

Italian Traditional & Classic Bathroom Taps

Traditional Italian taps combine classic proportions and decorative detailing with modern bathroom functionality. From elegant crosshead controls and curved spouts to more understated interpretations of period brassware, these collections provide an alternative to minimalist contemporary taps.

Traditional Basin Taps

Classic basin brassware is available in a variety of configurations, including single-hole mixers, three-hole taps and wall-mounted designs. The appropriate option will depend on the basin, tap-hole configuration and style of the bathroom.

Classic Bath Taps and Mixers

Traditional bath brassware can include deck-mounted and wall-mounted taps as well as configurations designed for use with a hand shower. Selected collections also include freestanding or floor-mounted solutions suitable for compatible freestanding baths.

Crosshead and Lever Controls

Depending on the manufacturer and collection, traditional taps may feature crosshead handles, ceramic-style details, classic levers or other period-inspired controls. These details can help coordinate the brassware with traditional sanitaryware, baths and bathroom furniture.

Chrome, Brass, Bronze and Specialist Finishes

Alongside polished chrome, selected Italian tap collections are available in brass, bronze, gold-toned, brushed and other specialist finishes. Finish names and appearances vary between manufacturers, so coordinating products are best selected from the same collection where an exact match is required.

Creating a Coordinated Traditional Bathroom

Many Italian manufacturers offer matching basin, bath, shower and bidet brassware within the same collection. This allows the style, handles and finish of the taps to remain consistent throughout the bathroom.

Choosing Traditional Bathroom Taps

Before ordering, check the tap-hole arrangement, dimensions, spout height and projection, installation method and any required concealed components. Compatibility with the chosen basin or bath should always be confirmed from the individual product specifications.
