Own a remarkable piece of bathroom history with this beautifully detailed Victorian Toilet Roll Holder in aged nickel. Recreated from an original design introduced in 1884 by the Sanitary Paper Company of Bury Street, London, this exceptionally ornate holder celebrates the elegance and innovation of the Victorian era.
