Porcelain or marble sinks on porcelain pedestals or chrome washstands dominate bathrooms with a vintage look.
But other options to consider include built-in vanities sheathed in painted beadboard, stained fruitwood vanities, or antique chests outfitted with sinks.
A claw-foot tub can be purchased new or found at a local salvage yard and restored. Fittings with cross handles and chrome or porcelain knobs are available from a wide variety of manufacturers today.
An elaborate Edwardian-style chrome tub filler (such as the one shown here) or shower handset completes the old-fashioned look.
