The former Thomas Crapper Museum For Sale

Verified Truly Reclaimed

A unique chance to buy one-of-a-kind antique loos, washbasins, baths, taps and bathroomalia that could not be assembled today.

The former private museum of the famous company itself, hoards of rare antique loos, washbasins, baths and taps, took nearly 40 years to collect. Aside from Thomas Crapper, the collection features highlights from many legendary makers, including George Jennings, Twyford, Shanks & Co. and Royal Doulton

Collected by the former owner of Thomas Crapper & Co., Simon Kirby, this diverse museum is unrivalled in breadth and quality with over 1,200 items ranging from the 1830s to the 1960s. It comprises beautiful, ornate WC pans and basins, many covered in floral decoration, and huge old cast-iron baths, some panelled in mahogany. There are hundreds of antique brass taps, polished wooden loo seats and even a potty with Hitler’s face in the bottom.

See the never-before-seen video tour of the Thomas Crapper Museum to explore curious pieces, such as a loo from Harrods, King George V’s bath from the Royal Train (with silver-plated taps) and probably the UK’s largest collection of salesmen’s samples: two hundred miniature loos, baths and basins!

Offers of over £300,000 are being sought for the entire collection. However Simon Kirby is inviting people to register their interest in individual items, should the museum have to be split up
