vintage shower head

Pipe Dreams


Bathroom showers first began gaining widespread acceptance in the 1890s, when ironworks giant J.L. Mott featured these "plumbing appliances" in its catalogs. Like those early showers, the $849 Victorian Thermostatic Shower with Hand Sprayer from Signature Hardware has the exposed main pipe and large 10"-diameter sunflower showerhead, which in the original models produced a spray that simulated rainfall. The accompanying hand sprayer has a porcelain handle and 60" spiral hose. For details, call (866) 855-2284, or visit www.signaturehardware.com.
