BRASS TACKS

We love the industrial-style cog and knurled grip of the Acme range from Aston Matthews, 020 7226 7220, astonmatthews.co.uk. The attractive scuffed brass will develop a beautifully worn patina with age. As well as taps and showers, the collection includes holders, hooks and bathroom accessories. Shown is the onehole progressive basin mixer with pop-up waste, £304.32.
