Artisan Washbasin Bowls

Upgrade your bathroom with contemporary washbasins. Designed for both function and style, these sink bowls offer a modern touch to any space.

About Artisan Washbasin Bowls

Artisan washbasin bowls bring furniture-grade craft to the bath. This collection gathers handcrafted washbasins from Herbeau, the French maker whose vitreous china, earthenware, and porcelain pieces draw on Belle Epoque and Art Deco traditions. From three-hole washbasins like the Charleston, Charles, Empire, and Carla to the compact Carline corner sink and Charly hand basin, each piece is made to anchor a period-style bath or powder room rather than disappear into a vanity.

Why Choose Artisan Washbasin Bowls

Unlike fitted sinks built into cabinetry, these washbasins stand on their own. Many pair with matching metal washstands or ceramic legs, so the basin, stand, and fittings read as one composed piece. The Belle Epoque lavatory tables, offered in single and double basin versions, bring console-style washing to a primary bath, while the corner and hand basins suit tight powder rooms where every inch counts. Hand-applied decoration and classic white finishes let you coordinate the basin with wallpaper, tile, or painted millwork, and the collection even includes a few decorative pieces such as the Sophie fountain.

What to Look For

Start with the faucet drilling: most washbasins here are drilled for three-hole faucet sets, so confirm your faucet's configuration before ordering. Next, check what is included. Pieces labeled "washbasin only" or "washstand only" are sold as separate components, which lets you mix a basin with the washstand or ceramic legs that fit your space. Consider material as well: vitreous china and porcelain are bright and easy to clean, while earthenware carries the warmth and slight variation of handmade work. Finally, plan the installation. Console and washstand setups expose the plumbing beneath the basin, so finished supply lines and trap kits in a coordinating finish are worth specifying from the start.
