The Heritage roll-top bath in this bathroom is carved from a single block of San Marino Classic marble.
Made of smooth, durable cast iron, the Banbury free-standing bath has a steel surround with classic panels, supplied ready for painting.
Designed to make a magnificent statement, the Spittal freestanding shower is a complete glass-enclosed unit with overhead shower, hand shower attachment and cast-iron shower tray.
Java Jade Green Fan gloss cermaic wall tiles (£93.16 sq m) are teamed with Seville Mid Matt Terracotta Effect porcelain floor tiles to create a warm and inviting look.
The Charleston double washstand has slender linear legs and circular basins; it's available in a choice of metals and marbles.
Inspired by Art Deco design, interior designer Alexandra Champalimaud has created the Estrela collection for THG Paris, including the three-hole basin mixer in Soft Gold finish.
