What is this faucet referencing?

12 years ago

We've moved to a new house and the bathroom faucets baffle me. Is it just me or do they just have no architectural referent? I don't think that they're trying to be Victorian, or Craftsman, or mid century modern. I don't really like them but am I just not getting what they want to be?

Thank you for identifying them, Pyramid Design. can you tell me anything about the architectural style they originated from? They just don't seem to make sense in our 1940 cape cod.

I remember my grandma's house built in the twenties having exposed mixer pipes on her faucets. To me this looks like a stylized version of something like that but would look good in a 40s cape cod. Also I think it ay look good with something of industrial design.
