We are looking for Edwardian or Victorian style toilets and sinks for our renovation project but can only find very modern style furniture. Does anyone have any suggestions as importing from UK is now virtually impossible due to Brexit.

Thank you.

As far as I know Spain didn't really have architectural eras in quite the same way the UK did. Most younger people are now at the stage where they want ultra modern as a shift away from, and a statement about the domestic and external architecture they grew up with. That might lead to an appetite for retro in the future, it often does.

Your best option might be to scour the roadside Rastros where you will find second hand goods that have been stripped out of modernisation projects.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I have looked at Rastros but our plumber says the furniture to be found there will not necessarily have the right plumbing fittings!

We are stupid because we could have imported one from the UK before Brexit but now, it appears, that is very difficult - and expensive.

I appreciate your help.

Depending on your level of Spanish, if you take photographs of what you're after to a large plumbing merchants (Fontaneria) company they might be able to source it for you.
