Antique San-o-La Nickel Plated Wall Mount Soap Dish - Circa 1910
This is an antique item
This is a beautiful antique nickel plated soap dish circa 1900 by the Art Brass Co. of New York as part of their "San-o-La" suite of fine quality bathroom fixtures. This simple soap dish is in very god condition with very little wear to the nickel plating.
The Art Brass Company was based at 299 East 134th Street in New York City in the early part of the twentieth century. The company created beautiful solid brass bathroom fixtures that were usually nickel plated. The fixtures stand the test of time due to their solid brass casting. Their nickel plating was also much smoother, heavier, and “brighter” than other manufacturers of that time. The company had their items installed into hotels and Government buildings throughout the world. Later on the company was known as San-O-La. The company made every accessory that your early 20th century bathroom could require. There was an array of soap dishes, glass shelving, towel bars, cup holders, toilet paper holders, and robe hooks in their catalogs.
