Machined in England from solid brass, the Sussex Metal Cistern Lever from Rutland London provides an elegant and understated flushing control for luxury WC installations. Designed for use with compatible Thomas Dudley concealed cisterns, its all-metal construction allows the selected handcrafted brassware finish to become the defining feature of the fitting.
The Sussex is precision machined in England from solid brass, reflecting the material quality and attention to detail found throughout Rutland London's collection of luxury bathroom fittings. In contrast to the White and Black Ceramic versions of the Sussex, the Metal Cistern Lever features no ceramic detailing, creating a cleaner and more restrained aesthetic.
Designed for use with a concealed cistern, the Sussex allows the principal flushing mechanism to remain hidden behind the finished wall or bathroom joinery, leaving only the decorative metal lever visible within the bathroom. This creates a refined installation while retaining the tactile operation and character associated with a traditional cistern lever.
The Sussex is designed for configuration with compatible Thomas Dudley concealed cisterns. Compatibility should be confirmed before ordering, and we recommend contacting Rutland London with details of the specific cistern being used within your project so that suitability can be checked prior to purchase.
When specified alongside a back to wall WC, the Sussex provides an opportunity to coordinate the cistern control with basin taps, showers, heated towel rails, mirrors and other visible metalwork throughout the bathroom. Its all-metal construction makes this particularly effective, allowing a single finish to extend across the complete brassware specification.
For luxury villas, private residences, hotels and interior design projects throughout Dubai, the wider UAE and Middle East, the Sussex Metal Cistern Lever offers a refined alternative to conventional concealed cistern controls. Its restrained design is particularly effective within bathrooms incorporating natural marble, decorative stone, bespoke joinery and carefully coordinated metal finishes.
The Sussex Metal Cistern Lever is 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 extent of this change dependent upon the environment in which the cistern lever is installed.
The Sussex can also be produced across Rutland London's portfolio of 40+ handcrafted finishes, spanning Brass, Bronze, Nickel, Copper and Gold. The all-metal design allows these finishes to extend across the complete visible surface of the lever, creating a particularly cohesive relationship with the wider Rutland London brassware specification.
