EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegant world of the 1920s with this photograph of a Staffordshire Blue Closet, featuring Armitage Coloured (Mottle) Ware. This exquisite bathroom furnishing is a prime example of the high-end design and style that defined the era. The Armitage Coloured (Mottle) Ware, produced in Staffordshire, England, is a type of coloured enamel ware that gained immense popularity during the 1920s. Its distinctive mottled texture and vibrant hues, such as the deep, rich shades of blue seen here, added a touch of sophistication and colour to the otherwise monotonous bathrooms of the time. The Staffordshire Blue Closet, with its water closet (toilet) and cistern, is a testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating these pieces. The tiled floor and walls, with their intricate patterns, further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the space. Merchants like Nicholls, Clarke, Limited, were instrumental in bringing these stylish and desirable home furnishings to the masses. Their catalogues showcased a wide range of building materials, home furnishings, and design ideas, allowing homeowners to create their own personal sanctuaries inspired by the Art Deco movement and the colourful trends of the 1920s. This photograph not only transports us back in time but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of bathroom design and the role that companies like Nicholls, Clarke, Limited, played in shaping it. The Armitage Coloured (Mottle) Ware Staffordshire Blue Closet remains an iconic symbol of the elegance and style that defined the 1920s.
