Oval W.C. Seat

Thomas Crapper & Co

£785

Thomas Crapper Oval Toilet Seat (Oak shown) This shape of toilet seat was first introduced around 1895 but was still in production through to the 1920s, until we at Thomas Crapper re-imagined it in the late 1990s. The Thomas Crapper Oval shaped seat is suitable for both high-level and low-level WC installations. These seats are exact replicas of an original that we found featured in one of our historic catalogues. The Oval seats are available in Oak, Mahogany or Walnut timbers, together with a selection of painted colours. Our oval seat is supplied with Polished brass or Silver coloured hinges

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THOMAS CRAPPER AND COMPANY,LIMITED, number 00082482. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
