"Standard" modern lavatories
A 1912 trade catalogue of "Standard" modern lavatories, published by the Standard Sanitary Mfg. Co. and credited to Brackett, Shaw & Lunt Co., aimed at builders, plumbers and homeowners fitting out bathrooms. Each picture shows a white porcelain wall-hung or pedestal basin photographed against a grey tiled wall with chrome taps, drain and supply pipes, and the Standard name, so a designer could take clean fixture profiles and the restrained tiled-bathroom palette of early twentieth-century plumbing.
