Antique of the Month for May

SB120300

1912 L. Wolff German Silver Pantry Sink
These sinks are incredibly rare!  This particular one was salvaged from the Reno Nevada’s Nixon Mansion after a fire required a complete gutting of the original home.  The heat had damaged the original wood apron to the point that it was unsalvageable, so we tracked down 16’ of unbroken Quartersawn white oak to replace the original piece.  We left it unfinished so you can finish to match your decor.  This stunning sink measures 90 1/2” long, is 26” front to back, and stands 32” tall.  The double basins each measure 16” x 24”.

Even the original drain stoppers are still in place.  This sink was originally tiled both on the back and along the right side.  The metal has been rolled up to allow tiling.  The original legs have been replated in period-correct nickel, they came from the factory this way 100 years ago.  German Silver is basically Nickel-plate on copper, it’s rather soft, so the surface of the sink shows

plenty of dings and dents that are expected in a sink of this style and vintage.  The not supplied faucets will need to be wall mounted, and you’ll need two pair.  Pictures simply do not do this sink justice, I doubt we’ll ever see another like it!

There are two spots of corrosion on the surface where something acidic was set on the sink.  The photo at left shows the larger, it measures 3” by 4”.  It doesn’t really detract from the appearance, but it’s there.

The Bathroom Machineries Difference: We are perfectionists who strive to provide products that not only look beautiful, but function perfectly. We are not content to merely resell products made by others; many of our products are made or designed right in our own shops by people who know plumbing. Those items that we do resell are subject to additional quality inspections and often are remanufactured to meet our own stringent standards. “Good enough” isn’t a term you’ll ever hear us use!
