Mercury Fittings: A Century of Fittings In the Bathroom

Mercury Fittings is the proud distributor of Lefroy Brooks in South Africa, bringing us a ‘Century of Classics – the story of a hundred years of bathrooms’.

From domestic origins in the late Victorian era through the mechanical angularity of the Edwardians, the curvaceous turn of the century French, the colonial twenties, the Deco thirties, the streamline fifties, the starry sixties to the nineteen seventies when it all seemed to begin again… today we are talking about a century of bathroom classics as researched by Chriso Lefroy Brooks.

Each decade has been carefully considered and researched. Lefroy Brooks brings us the classics that continue to make a mark in bathrooms the world over. Their products are made from 100% solid brass and have been individually hand-polished, assembled and plated in one of the following available finishes: Antique Gold, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Polished Brass, Taunton and Aged Brass.

As a world-recognized brand, they have recently launched the ‘TEN TEN’ and ‘FIFTH’ ranges to their collection.

TEN TEN is the new range of industrial, machine age taps. It has its origins in the ‘B.S. 1010’ plumbing standard, developed to provide a universal discipline across the British Empire and subsequently the Commonwealth. Iconic turbine handwheels are attached to forged water valves and pipework connections. Basin spouts and bath shower mixers are arranged in functional bridge constructions. Shower systems are available in concealed and exposed formats. Robust bathroom accessories complete the range. All products are available in silver nickel, natural brass and chrome.

FIFTH is the new 1940 range in silver nickel plated brass, inlaid with panels of hand applied black lacquer. The range includes taps, showers and bathroom accessories.

We hope that the images you see will unleash your imagination for your bathroom and open up endless luxurious possibilities that you never knew could be possible!
