Traditional Bathroom Accessories in Cast Bronze
Our collection of bathroom accessories brings together traditional materials, practical design and carefully considered details. From cast bronze towel rails and toilet roll holders to stoneware accessories and bathroom shelving, each piece is chosen for its character, usefulness and ability to sit comfortably within a well-designed interior.
Much of our bathroom hardware is sand-cast and hand-finished in Britain using raw, unlacquered bronze. The casting process produces subtle variations in texture, giving each fitting an individual character. Over time, the bronze develops a natural patina rather than retaining the uniform appearance of a plated or lacquered finish.
Towel Rails, Hooks and Bathroom Hardware
Our Hand Towel Rail, Cast Bronze provides a simple, elegant place for a hand towel beside a basin. For additional hanging space, the Pantry Rail combines bronze fittings with turned wooden spindles, while our Sand-Cast Bronze Fish Hook offers an unusual and decorative solution for hanging towels or dressing gowns.
The collection also includes the Shower Handrail, designed with traditional proportions, and a Cast Bronze Cistern Bracket for bathrooms where even the smallest functional details deserve attention.
Toilet Roll Holders and Stoneware Accessories
Our Toilet Roll Holder, Cast Bronze combines a bronze fitting with a hardwood spindle, providing a traditional alternative to conventional bathroom hardware.
The Toilet Brush Holder pairs a simple stoneware vessel with a wooden-handled brush. A Replacement Toilet Brush is also available, allowing the original holder to remain in use.
Our Vanity Top Tidy Pots provide useful storage for smaller bathroom essentials, while the Razor Rest keeps a razor neatly positioned beside the basin.
Soap Dispensers and Bathroom Shelving
The Wall-Mounted Soap Dispenser Bracket, Cast Bronze provides a practical way to keep soap bottles off the basin or worktop.
For additional storage, our Small Smoked Oak Shelf offers a compact surface for everyday bathroom essentials. The collection also includes Brass Adjustable Shelf Brackets, suitable for creating individual shelving arrangements.
Traditional Materials and Finishing Details
At Mark Lewis Interior Design, we believe bathrooms deserve the same attention to detail as any other room. Our collection combines cast bronze, brass, timber and stoneware, with an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship and practical design.
Whether restoring a period bathroom or creating a new interior with traditional character, these fittings offer lasting alternatives to conventional bathroom accessories.
Material: Crafted from two turned spindles of solid sapele hardwood with a warm, rich grain and a hand-applied wax finish. The rail is supported by cast bronze end brackets, available in either Raw Bronze or Oil Rubbed Bronze, combining the warmth of timber with the permanence of solid bronze.
Design: The Pantry Rail is a double tea towel rail designed to keep towels neatly organised without taking up valuable worktop space. The turned sapele spindles take inspiration from traditional bamboo forms, while the sand-cast bronze brackets provide strength, balance and understated character.
For a more compact alternative, see our Hand Towel Rail, ideal for smaller spaces.
Style advice from Mark: We wanted something that felt as though it belonged in a hardworking Victorian scullery, but refined enough for today's kitchens. I use one in my own kitchen on the back of the larder door for tea towels. It's equally at home mounted beneath a shelf, on the end of cabinetry or behind a door—simple, practical and always within reach.
Installation: Supplied fully assembled. The rail gains its full strength once fixed to the wall using the two cast bronze brackets. Supplied with solid brass screws.
Craftsmanship: The bronze brackets are individually sand-cast and hand-finished in Britain. The sapele hardwood spindles are turned in small batches by a British woodturner before being carefully waxed and assembled.

Finish Notes
Available in two finishes:
Raw Bronze – Left unlacquered with a natural sand-cast texture that develops a rich patina over time.
Oil Rubbed Bronze – A deep brown finish, close to black, offering a stronger architectural contrast while remaining unlacquered and continuing to mature subtly with age.
The sapele hardwood is finished with a natural wax to enhance its grain and provide a soft lustre. Variations in colour, grain and texture are part of the character of both the timber and the bronze.
