Why This Bathtub Is Unique
This 72 inch copper bathtub is designed as a focused double slipper soaking tub with a large freestanding profile, raised reclining ends, rolled rim, pedestal base, coffee patina, and side ring handles. Compared with simpler oval copper bathtubs, this model has a stronger historic profile, deeper artisan character, and a more decorative bathroom presence.
Design Features
This freestanding double slipper copper bathtub is shaped around comfort, symmetry, and handmade texture. Both ends rise evenly above the lower center section, creating a balanced reclining profile from either direction. The long oval footprint gives the tub strong visual presence, while the pedestal base supports open-room placement without the ornate look of claw feet or separate external supports. Learn more about sizing, design, and care in our 72 inch hand hammered copper bathtub guide.
Material & Finish
The bathtub is handcrafted from heavy-gauge copper with a dense hand-hammered surface. Its natural coffee patina blends dark chocolate brown tones with warm copper undertones, giving the surface a rich, layered appearance. Because the finish is artisan-applied rather than painted, subtle tonal variation remains visible across the rolled rim, interior basin, pedestal base, and hammered exterior.
Shape & Silhouette
The double slipper silhouette features two raised ends, a lower center entry point, and softly curved sidewalls that taper toward the pedestal base. This flowing oval form softens the bathroom visually while supporting relaxed soaking. The 72 inch length gives the bathtub generous presence without losing the balanced proportions expected from a freestanding copper centerpiece.
Rolled Rim Detail
The rolled rim is one of the most important features of this copper bathtub. It gives the upper edge a rounded, substantial profile that improves comfort, strengthens the opening, and adds visual weight. The continuous rim follows the full oval shape, helping the tub look finished from every angle in a freestanding bathroom layout.
Coffee Patina Finish
The coffee patina gives this bathtub a darker and warmer appearance than bright polished copper. Recessed hammer marks appear deeper, while raised areas catch soft copper highlights. This finish is especially useful in bathrooms with stone, plaster, wood, bronze fixtures, black accents, or warm neutral palettes because it adds depth without looking overly shiny.
Decorative Ring Handles
Decorative copper rings on the sides add historic character and help distinguish this bathtub from plain freestanding copper tubs. The rings are mounted on hammered copper brackets, creating visual rhythm along the long sides. They also reinforce the handcrafted vessel character without turning the bathtub into an overly ornate or heavily decorated design.
Drain and Overflow Planning
This bathtub is designed with a bottom center drain location. Before production, confirm whether the project requires an overflow, no-overflow configuration, or special drain placement. Drain hardware, overflow planning, and faucet clearance should be reviewed with the final bathroom layout before installation.
- Drain size: 2 inches
- Overflow: Optional, if requested
- Drain hardware: Confirm before order
Made in Mexico
This Mexican copper bathtub is made by skilled artisans using traditional copperworking techniques associated with Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico. Each piece is shaped, hammered, rolled, and finished by hand, allowing natural differences in tone, texture, and proportion. These variations are part of the handmade character and help distinguish genuine artisan copper from factory-made bath fixtures.
Craftsmanship
The craftsmanship is visible in the continuous rolled rim, balanced raised ends, dense hammering, and carefully formed pedestal base. Each curve is shaped to support comfort and durability, while the coffee patina is applied to emphasize darker recessed hammer marks and warmer highlights across the raised copper surface.
Artisan Testimony
“A double slipper tub must feel balanced from both sides. The coffee patina gives it warmth, while every hammer mark carries the rhythm of our hands.” — Juan Carlos Hernández, copper artisan

Best Bathroom Styles
Spanish Colonial Bathrooms
This 72 inch hand hammered copper bathtub is a strong fit for Spanish Colonial bathrooms with plaster walls, reclaimed wood beams, Talavera tile, wrought iron lighting, and aged bronze fixtures. The coffee patina and decorative copper ring handles reinforce the historic character while adding comfort, warmth, and artisan luxury.
Modern Farmhouse Bathrooms
The deep coffee finish contrasts beautifully with white walls, painted cabinetry, natural stone floors, black fixtures, and warm wood accents. In modern farmhouse bathrooms, the hand-hammered copper texture adds depth and character, while the clean double slipper silhouette keeps the room refined rather than overly rustic.
Transitional Bathrooms
This freestanding copper bathtub also works well in transitional bathrooms that combine clean stone surfaces, simple plumbing fixtures, neutral walls, and natural textures. The balanced silhouette feels orderly and refined, while the hammered copper surface and coffee patina add warmth without overwhelming the surrounding design.
Tuscan Bathrooms
Tuscan bathrooms often use warm stone, plaster, iron lighting, carved wood, and bronze hardware. This copper bathtub supports that palette with its dark coffee patina, hammered texture, and classic double slipper shape. The rolled rim and pedestal base make the tub feel substantial without requiring heavy ornament or elaborate surrounding cabinetry.
Customization Options
Choose the standard 72 inch length or request custom dimensions for your bathroom layout. The coffee patina is standard for this bathtub, with optional custom finishes including natural fired, antique, and honey. Drain placement, overflow needs, faucet clearance, and installation planning can be reviewed before production so the bathtub is prepared for the intended room.
Functional Compatibility
This 72 inch freestanding double slipper copper bathtub works with floor-mounted, wall-mounted, or nearby deck-mounted tub fillers when the bathroom is planned correctly. The centered lower basin supports comfortable soaking, while both raised ends provide reclining support. Its pedestal base allows open-room placement, making the bathtub suitable for bathrooms where the copper finish can be viewed from multiple angles.
Installation Planning
Before installation, confirm floor support for the filled bathtub, drain alignment, faucet placement, and access around the pedestal base. The tub is freestanding, so the layout should allow enough clearance for cleaning, entry, and visual balance. Use qualified installers for plumbing connections, and protect the coffee patina during handling and final placement.
