Handcrafted from solid Mahogany with a rich Gloss finish, the Chelsea Mahogany (Gloss) Classic Toilet Seat from Rutland London combines the natural beauty of timber with traditional English craftsmanship. Designed to complement Rutland London's collection of luxury sanitaryware, its polished appearance brings warmth, depth and a distinctly furniture-like quality to the bathroom.
Each Chelsea toilet seat is crafted by hand in England from solid wood before being carefully prepared and finished to achieve its characteristic Gloss appearance. The finish accentuates the depth, colour and natural figuring of the Mahogany, creating a richer and more decorative expression than the understated appearance of the Chelsea Mahogany (Matt).
As a natural material, variations in grain, tone and figuring should be expected from one piece of Mahogany to another. These individual characteristics are inherent to genuine timber and ensure that each handcrafted Chelsea toilet seat has its own distinctive appearance.
The Chelsea is completed with a substantial solid brass bar hinge, introducing a decorative metal detail that can be coordinated with the wider brassware specification throughout the bathroom. Durable underside buffers provide additional support between the solid wooden seat and WC pan during everyday use.
Designed specifically to complement Rutland London's sanitaryware collection, the Chelsea Mahogany (Gloss) Classic Toilet Seat is compatible with our full range of WC suites, including high level, low level, close coupled, back to wall and wall hung configurations. The rich Mahogany is particularly striking against White vitreous china, where the contrast allows the natural timber to become a prominent part of the overall bathroom scheme.
Due to the traditional construction and solid brass bar hinge mechanism, the Chelsea does not incorporate a soft-close function. This is an intentional characteristic of the design, preserving the substantial metal hinge construction and traditional appearance of the toilet seat.
For luxury villas, private residences, hotels and interior design projects throughout Dubai, the wider UAE and Middle East, the Chelsea Mahogany (Gloss) provides an opportunity to introduce the warmth and richness of polished natural timber into bathrooms dominated by ceramic, marble, stone and metal. Its deeper, more formal appearance is particularly effective within traditionally inspired and richly layered luxury interiors.
The Chelsea Mahogany (Gloss) Classic Toilet Seat is available to purchase online with its solid brass hinge finished 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 toilet seat is installed.
The solid brass hinge can also be produced across Rutland London's portfolio of 40+ handcrafted finishes, spanning Brass, Bronze, Nickel, Copper and Gold. This allows the toilet seat hinge to coordinate with basin taps, showers, flush plates, heated towel rails and other visible metalwork throughout the bathroom.
