About The Company

Historical Significance
This suite represents the height of mid-century luxury design when the Chinoiserie aesthetic was being reimagined for the modern grand estate. Chinoiserie which is the western interpretation of far eastern artistic traditions has been a symbol of worldliness and wealth since the 17th century. By combining this timeless motif with the glamour of the Hollywood Regency period Sherle Wagner created a design language that bridged the gap between historical European elegance and mid-century american luxury. The use of 24k gold and hand painted porcelain reflects a post war period where high end homeowners sought out the hand of the artist over mass produced industrial fixtures.
The Rarity of a Complete Hardware System
What truly sets this listing apart is the inclusion of the entire integrated plumbing system. In the world of high end vintage hardware it is nearly impossible to find a sink where the original gold plated p-trap supply lines wall escutcheons and shut off valves have been preserved together. This eliminates the significant challenge and expense of trying to source modern gold finishes that match the specific tone of Sherle Wagner vintage 24k plating. This is a turnkey solution for a designer or homeowner who demands absolute visual consistency and period correct accuracy for a historic restoration or a new high design project.
