Natural stone basins can give a vanity a distinctive focal point, but the bowl and supporting furniture need to be planned together. This page originally advertised excess stock in 2014. That clearance offer has expired: the old £89 and £149 figures are not current prices, and the photographed basins are archive references.
Use the original models as references
The archive showed models Art.201 to Art.210 in materials described at the time as travertine, Statuario marble, White Onyx, Nero Marquina, fossil stone, Silver Travertine and Noir St. Laurent. It also showed several finishes. Those descriptions do not confirm that any particular item remains available.
If you like one of the examples, send its reference number and photograph when enquiring. Ask for a current product specification, dimensions, images of the actual item where possible and a written price.
Check dimensions, taps and waste fittings
Confirm the overall bowl size and height, the depth of the vanity top and the position of the tap. Check tap reach, waste type, overflow details and access for plumbing. These choices should be agreed with your supplier and plumber before a vanity top is cut.
A countertop bowl also changes the finished height of the washing area. Discuss that height alongside the furniture, mirror and intended users. Do not choose the basin solely from a front-view photograph.
Understand variation and care
Natural colour and pattern vary from item to item. Compare the actual basin with the vanity material rather than expecting a guaranteed match from the same trade name. Ask which cleaning products and sealing guidance apply to the finish supplied.
For general stone-care principles, see the Natural Stone Institute care guidance. Follow the basin supplier’s instructions for the actual product, especially around deposits, cleaners and the waste opening.
What should the quotation include?
- The exact basin reference and dimensions.
- Finish and material identification.
- Whether taps, waste and other fittings are included.
- Delivery, VAT and any installation charges.
- Stock status, lead time and the relevant return terms.
Ask separately about the vanity top and any fabrication required. An old clearance price cannot be used to estimate the cost of a complete bathroom installation.
