Antique Oak Low-Tank Toilet by Standard Manufacturing Co. – Copper-Lined Tank, Brass Hardware & Ceramic Bowl

Description : This original late 19th-century low-tank toilet by Standard Manufacturing Co. features a finely crafted oak tank lined with copper, paired with a heavy white glazed ceramic bowl. The toilet retains its rare, fully intact brass push-button flush—still operational—which is increasingly uncommon in units of this age. The interior has been discreetly updated with a modern Fluidmaster flush system for functional use, while the exterior remains true to its original form. The porcelain base shows no visible cracks or damage, and the oak tank has a warm, restored finish that highlights the wood’s natural grain. Brass hardware, including flush fittings and seat hinges, remains solid and well-preserved. This unit represents one of the best-condition examples of its type currently on the market, ideal for historic restorations or showcase-level interior design.
