Go to a showroom and look. There are so many that make a traditional look. Kohler, American Standard, Danze, etc.

Not so easy. Hence why I am asking here:)

I don't understand what is not too easy. Choosing one of the faucet sets or determining which brand you want?

My showrooms that are close to me do not have a lot to offer in terms of what I am looking for or the understanding of showing me options. That is what is not easy. That is why I am seeking advice here:)

Got it. Could you possibly choose one or two possible styles from among Kohler, Delta and Brizo or Danze, those have solid mid /upper mid level offerings and see how the faucet feels to you? I've had Delta faucets in the past and was very pleased with them, but I did not have them for years and years to be able to speak to longevity. The Trinisc line, which is on the modern/transitional side compared to Perrin and Rowe's traditional look, was very solid.

Perrin and Rowe is the more expensive line from Rohl. Have you looked at basic Rohl options? My shower system, tub filler, and sink faucets are all from Rohl - excellent quality, beautiful, and pricey but not super expensive.

perhaps post a picture of what you'd like to achieve.

and you may have to expand your showroom visit to something further out, and more extensive.

We like to purchase at local showrooms. I don't know why, but they never display prices. So, before I go, I get a shortlist going from doing research on efaucets or faucetdirect. Good Luck! : ) rf

Look online at Ferguson

Look at Signature Hardware online.

Yes, Perrin & Rowe ARE expensive, but in the end, I think they are worth the price. I have a P&R faucet in my kitchen. I put it in 15 years ago. I have replaced two rubber washers myself (they sent a bag of various sizes when I called their US distributor several years ago). My faucet still looks wonderful and I keep it when I did my kitchen remodel 2 years ago.

Purchase from a well-known and established producer, such as Kohler, Grohe, Rohl, Hansgrohe, they will still be around if any fixtures fail.

I love the classical look of Perrin and Rowe but very difficult to get here in the states (have to get the thermostatic and then an additional valve for the 2nd rainhead) but don't love the expense and all of the metal that would be required.

What's your budget, and when you mention that you don't "love" "all of the metal that would be required", what do you mean? The classic, traditional Perrin & Rowe look means an exposed system, which means lots of chrome or other metal finish.

Have you looked at Rohl shower systems at faucet.com?
