Darrah's Patent - "The Puritas Washdown Closet" - Floral Victorian High Level Throne Toilet 1891
£2,560.00
An extremely rare opportunity to acquire a high quality floral pattern transfer printed high level toilet. Stamped 'The Puritas Washdown Closet, Rd No. 167021' dating it to 1891.
The "Darrah's Patent" refers to the seat fixing holes where a wooden seat would have been permanently situated. This isn't very practical, or hygienic and it would be better suited to a throne type seat with either floor, or wall brackets and rubber bungs placed into the pan holes.
