A set of vintage French hot and cold bathroom or kitchen taps. A heavy well made set. These have heavy tarnish and patina. We are not sure of metal used which is likely a chromed metal. The taps and backing plate at least look to be plated brass or bronze. Taps still turn freely. Note further signs of age as detailed below.
We like taps! We often get them passing through and usualy have quite a few in store. See the link below for more.
