Looking for recs for high quality, preferably solid brass construction, bathroom fixtures for a historic house. I was considering the Perrin and Rowe Edwardian exposed thermostatic in polished nickel and it's almost 9K!?! I have read bad things about Signature Hardware and Randolph Morris on Vintage Bath & Home. So many great more affordable options in the UK, but that's just too much to deal with, in terms of customs and lead time, not to mention possible incompatabilities. And mid-range brands here have gone so far down hill. I had an expensive kohler kitchen faucet that the plastic just melted right off of.
