Perrin & Rowe - Langbourn Bathroom Taps

Perrin & Rowe's new Langbourn range takes its inspiration from the ancient ward of the City of London – itself a stylistic melting pot, and a vibrant example of how centuries-old ornate architecture can sit comfortably alongside stark contemporary silhouettes. Created in the brand's Wolverhampton factory, the collection aims to reference timeless style and blend it with an up-to-date Metropolitan flavour, allowing it to appeal to a broad range of palates.

The products are all designed and manufactured in England, and it is their provenance that sets them apart. "They all benefit from Perrin & Rowe’s exceptional manufacturing standards – they're hand cast in small batches, precision-machined and then polished by hand, with every single tap fully tested," she says.

The collection comprises everything from deck and wall-mounted taps to shower fittings and valves, along with a selection of complementary accessories for a fully co-ordinated bathroom look. The products are classically styled but based around clean tubular shapes, and come in a choice of six finishes – Chrome, Nickel, Pewter, Polished Brass, Satin Brass and – most extravagantly – 24-Carat Gold. All brass finishes are unlacquered so will develop their own unique patina over time as the surface reacts with its environment.
