Traditional Black Ceramic crosshead handles and individually mounted hot and cold taps give the Rectory a distinctly classical character. Designed for bathrooms where authentic period detailing is important, the Rectory Black Ceramic Crosshead Basin Pillar Taps offer an elegant alternative to a mono or three-hole basin mixer.
Manufactured from carefully selected brass castings, each pair of Rectory Basin Pillar Taps is precision machined and polished before being individually finished by skilled craftsmen at Rutland London's factory in Hampshire, England. This combination of engineering expertise and specialist hand-finishing reflects the established English manufacturing heritage behind our collection of luxury bathroom brassware.
The Rectory uses the traditional basin pillar tap configuration, with completely separate hot and cold taps mounted directly through the basin. Elegant Black Ceramic crossheads provide an unmistakably classical detail, while the compact individual spouts preserve the balanced proportions associated with traditional bathroom sanitaryware.
The contrast between the Black Ceramic crossheads and surrounding metalwork gives the Rectory considerable visual character. Warm Brass and Bronze finishes create a particularly traditional appearance, while Nickel offers a cooler interpretation and Gold can introduce a more decorative quality.
These proportions make the Rectory particularly well suited to traditional porcelain basins, pedestal basins and period-inspired bathroom interiors, where separate pillar taps can complement the design of the sanitaryware more naturally than a contemporary mixer.
High-quality ceramic disc cartridges provide smooth and reliable operation, while 1/2" BSP connections provide compatibility with many plumbing arrangements.
Every pair of Rectory Basin Pillar Taps undergoes thorough wet and dry testing prior to despatch, with each set individually checked against Rutland London's exacting standards before leaving our Hampshire factory.
The Rectory is an elegant choice for luxury residences, private villas, hotels and traditionally influenced bathroom projects throughout the UAE and wider Middle East, particularly where classical sanitaryware and carefully coordinated metal finishes form part of the wider interior scheme.
The Rectory Black Ceramic Crosshead Basin Pillar Taps are available to purchase online in Polished (Unlacquered) Brass. As a living finish, Polished (Unlacquered) Brass will naturally age and develop a distinctive patina over time, with the rate and appearance of this change influenced by use and the surrounding environment.
For individually specified bathroom projects, the Rectory can also be produced across Rutland London's extensive portfolio of handcrafted Brass, Bronze, Nickel, Copper and Gold finishes, allowing the taps to coordinate with wastes, bottle traps, showers, towel rails and other visible bathroom brassware.
