Combining the clean appearance of a back to wall toilet with the dramatic character of Black vitreous china, the Bartholomew Black Back To Wall WC Suite from Rutland London provides a distinctive solution for luxury bathroom interiors. Designed for installation with a concealed cistern, the Bartholomew creates a refined and uncluttered appearance while retaining the considered proportions and detailing associated with traditional English bathroom design.

Crafted in England from high-quality vitreous china and complemented by carefully manufactured brass componentry, the Bartholomew reflects the material quality and attention to detail found throughout Rutland London's collection of luxury bathroom fittings. The rich Black ceramic provides a striking foundation for the design, allowing the selected toilet seat and handcrafted metal finish to further define the character of the finished WC suite.

The defining feature of the Bartholomew is its back to wall configuration, allowing the cistern and associated plumbing to be concealed behind a purpose-built wall or bathroom joinery. With the WC pan positioned neatly against the finished surface, the arrangement creates a cleaner architectural appearance than a traditional exposed-cistern toilet while remaining sympathetic to traditional, transitional and richly layered interiors.

The Bartholomew is supplied with a lever-operated Thomas Dudley concealed cistern, selected to provide reliable flushing performance while allowing the functional components of the WC installation to remain discreetly concealed. The resulting arrangement is particularly effective where marble, natural stone, decorative tiling or bespoke bathroom joinery forms an important part of the interior scheme.

To complement the Black vitreous china, the Bartholomew can be specified with a selection of handcrafted English toilet seats according to the material palette and aesthetic requirements of the project. Options include English Oak, Mahogany, Cambridge White and Metropolitan Black, providing considerable scope to create either a contrasting or more tonal appearance. Each toilet seat is completed with a substantial brass bar hinge coordinated with the selected brassware finish.

The WC suite is also supplied with brass pan screw caps as standard, ensuring that even the smaller visible components are considered as part of the finished installation and can coordinate with other decorative metalwork throughout the bathroom.

For luxury villas, private residences, hotels and interior design projects throughout Dubai, the wider UAE and Middle East, the Bartholomew provides an elegant alternative to conventional White sanitaryware where the clean appearance of a concealed cistern is desired. Its combination of Black ceramic, concealed plumbing and traditional English detailing is particularly effective alongside richly veined marble, natural stone, dark timber and decorative brassware.

The Bartholomew Black Back To Wall WC Suite is available to purchase online with visible brass components 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 WC suite is installed.

The visible brass components of the Bartholomew can also be produced across Rutland London's portfolio of 40+ handcrafted finishes, spanning Brass, Bronze, Nickel, Copper and Gold. This extensive selection allows the WC suite to coordinate with basin taps, showers, mirrors, heated towel rails and other visible metalwork throughout the bathroom.
