PEDESTAL SINK



Casa de Serralves, Porto

The Casa de Serralves has the appeal of being a coutry house entirely done in the Art Deco/ Moderne style, as opposed to the more prevalent apartment renovations of the period. Now turned into an art museum, it is unfortunately stripped of most of its original furniture, some of which came from the ateliers of Ruhlmann in Paris. This lavatory's design origins are unknown; the great Porto Beaux-Arts architect Marques da Silva had worked on the project as well.
