VINTAGE BATHROOM – Badschrank

Genuine originals, every single piece -- plucked from homes and flea markets across Europe, mostly Italy and Germany. We don't do reproductions; what's vintage here actually lived a life before it got to you.

Very good to near-perfect is our baseline -- anything less simply doesn't make it onto our shelves. We clean, check (and repair where needed) every piece before it ships, and if a trace of its past life remains, that's character, not a compromise. You'll see exactly what you're getting in the real photos, never a stock shot.

Most come from small original batches, not single units -- so a near-identical piece can occasionally resurface. But these pieces are up to 70 years old now, and well-preserved originals get harder to find every year -- so if one catches your eye, that's your moment. Waiting isn't a strategy here.

Surface-mount, all of them. These pieces screw straight onto the wall -- no cutting into tile or drywall. And it's not us cutting corners: well-preserved recessed cabinets from the 50s and 60s are genuinely hard to come by, so surface-mount is pretty much what survived. Got a mounting question about a specific piece? Dirk restores every cabinet himself and is happy to talk you through hanging it -- just drop us a line.

Sometimes, and we won't hide it if they do. Decades-old mirror glass can develop a little foxing here and there -- when it's present, it's called out directly in that listing and shown in the photos, so you always know exactly what you're getting before you buy.

No -- these are hardwired, not something you plug in. The light fitting itself is a standard E14 socket, the same one used worldwide, so once it's wired in, any regular E14 bulb fits. If you'd rather plug it in, a local electrician can easily fit a plug for you instead.

Vintage originals ship directly from us here in Germany -- not made to order abroad like our Retro pieces. Unlike Retro, customs or import fees outside the EU are on you.
