A Unique Antique Cast Iron Bathtub with Elegant Clawfoot Legs Featuring Acanthus Motif
This bathtub is supported by graceful clawfoot legs, each adorned with an acanthus leaf motif. This decoration, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art, adds historical and artistic value to the design. The acanthus plant symbolized longevity and immortality in those times, making these details even more significant. Around 1900, it was a popular motif used by various manufacturers.
A Particularly Small Size bath tub
What makes this bathtub unique is its compact size. While some antique bathtubs are large and imposing, this one offers a space-saving solution without compromising on style and elegance. The smaller size makes it suitable for both large and smaller bathrooms, adding a touch of nostalgic charm. With its length of approximately 155 cm, the bathtub is still very comfortable for both bathing and lounging. Since the bathtub lacks an overflow system, it can be filled to the brim. Even in a more seated position, you can still be mostly submerged, something not always possible with modern bathtubs.
This antique cast iron bathtub is in excellent condition, which is rare given its age. Dating from around 1900, it is a well-preserved example of the quality of enamel from that era.
This model is particularly stylish because it can adapt to various styles. It will naturally be a focal point in a classic bathroom, but it can also fit well in a very minimalist setting as a key feature.
Dimensions: 155 cm long, approximately 72 cm wide.
