Aren’t these Edwardian double handle mixer taps lovely? Don’t they look great? They certainly do…

But as promising as their name may sound, there’s no such thing as mixing with those two taps! You either go boiling hot, or freezing cold. Win or lose – every morning…

Why these relics from the era of King Edward VII are still as popular in UK bathrooms today as they’ve been over a hundred years ago – I don’t know.

What I do know is that there are few things in modern day homes that are as inconvenient as the Edwardian double handle mixer taps.

But they do look great, don’t they?
