The Chester | Painted Beaded Vanity 1000mm Studio Green - Mockridge Design
The Chester | Painted Beaded Vanity 1000mm Studio Green Sale price£2,240.00

The Chester vanity captures the timeless character of England's most historic walled city. Handmade to order in England, this 1000mm bathroom vanity features flat drawer fronts framed with refined beaded detailing - a subtle nod to the traditional cock bead joinery found in fine period cabinetry.

Available in both single and double configurations, each unit showcases chunky shaker-style end panels and sturdy square legs that ground the design with architectural presence whilst maintaining clean, understated lines.

Built using moisture-resistant wood and fitted with lifetime-guaranteed soft-close drawer runners, each unit is spray-finished in-house with two coats of primer and two top coats of premium paint for a flawless, enduring surface.

Delivered fully assembled with a 4-6 week lead time.

The Chester FAQs

Common questions about our Chester beaded vanity range. Need something specific? Call us on 0117 990 2953 or email hello@mockridgedesign.com.

Yes. Every Chester vanity unit comes fitted with Blum soft-close drawer runners as standard, backed by a lifetime guarantee. For those who want the craftsmanship visible inside the drawer, an upgrade to hand-cut dovetailed solid oak drawer boxes is available.

Yes. All Chester units are delivered fully assembled and ready to install. For units over 1400mm, or where access is restricted, we may partially disassemble for delivery. All fixings and instructions are included for quick reassembly on site.

The Chester is built with solid tulipwood legs and cabinet-grade moisture-resistant cores throughout the frame. Tulipwood is a stable, paintable hardwood that holds the cock bead detail beautifully and won't move in bathroom humidity. The moisture-resistant cores are engineered to handle the wet, warm environments that bathrooms create over time. All visible surfaces are spray-finished with two coats of primer and two top coats of premium paint.

A cock bead is a fine raised moulding that runs around the perimeter of each drawer front. It originates from 18th-century English cabinetmaking where it served both a decorative and practical purpose. On The Chester, the cock bead frames each flat drawer panel, creating a subtle border that catches the light and adds depth without overpowering the design.

The Clifton features vertical fluted drawer fronts with tapered legs for a more contemporary aesthetic. The Chester has flat drawer fronts with refined cock bead moulding borders, chunky shaker end panels, and sturdy square legs for a more traditional, grounded look. Both ranges share the same construction quality, Farrow & Ball finish options, quartz worktop choices, and drawer upgrade options.

Yes. Both our sit-on and undermount basin options work with deck-mounted or wall-mounted taps. The only thing we need to know is which you've chosen, so we can position your basin correctly during manufacture. Please add a note to your order — "deck-mounted taps" or "wall-mounted taps" — when placing it, or message us straight after. We'll confirm before cutting begins.

We offer five curated Farrow & Ball colours as standard: Railings, Brinjal, Studio Green, Stiffkey Blue, and Elephants Breath. If you need a colour outside of these five, bespoke colour matching is available. Contact us with your preferred Farrow & Ball shade for a quote.

Every Chester is made to order in our Bristol workshop with a standard lead time of 4 to 6 weeks from the date of your order. Delivery is a flat £95 to mainland UK, by a two-person team to ground floor, with every unit arriving fully assembled.

The Chester is available in seven standard widths: 600mm, 800mm, and 1000mm in a single basin configuration, and 1200mm, 1400mm, 1600mm, and 1800mm as a double. All sizes are available with either sit-on or undermount basins. Bespoke sizing is available for non-standard dimensions. Contact us with your measurements for a quote.

Three quartz worktops come as standard: Pure White, Carrara Cashmere, and Calacatta Gold. Each is pre-cut to the exact dimensions of your unit, basin cutout pre-formed, polished, and dispatched separately ready to install on site. All quartz options are heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and non-porous. We also have access to other quartz patterns and natural marble — available as part of a bespoke order. Get in touch if you'd like a quote on a specific stone, or order without a worktop if you're sourcing your own.
