Handcrafted from solid English Oak, the Chelsea English Oak 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, the Chelsea provides a warmer and more characterful alternative to conventional ceramic or composite toilet seats.
Each Chelsea toilet seat is crafted by hand in England from solid wood, allowing the natural grain and individual character of English Oak to remain an important part of the finished piece. As a natural material, variations in grain, tone and figuring should be expected, ensuring that each 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 timber seat and WC pan during everyday use.
Designed specifically to complement Rutland London's sanitaryware collection, the Chelsea English Oak 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. This allows the warmth and texture of natural English Oak to be introduced across a wide variety of traditional and transitional bathroom schemes.
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 provides an opportunity to introduce natural timber into bathrooms otherwise dominated by ceramic, marble, stone and metal. English Oak is particularly effective when used to complement timber joinery, natural stone and traditionally detailed bathroom brassware.
The Chelsea English Oak 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.
