Product Description
Bring rustic refinement to your bathroom with our Antique Hammered Copper Bathtub. A softly rounded rectangular silhouette with gently flared sides invites deep, relaxed soaking. Each piece is shaped by hand in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico. A rhythmic hand-hammered dimple pattern adds lively texture. A warm medium-brown natural patina evolves with time. Heavy-gauge copper supports durability and quiet comfort. Designed for indoor and deck-set installation with straight, clean rims. It suits farmhouse, Mediterranean, and transitional interiors. Pair with stone, plaster, or wood accents. Order today to choose size, patina, and drain options.

Design Features
Old-world artistry meets daily luxury. Copper retains heat, resists corrosion, and offers a hygienic, living finish. The drop-in lip seats cleanly on stone or tile surrounds, making it ideal for remodels and new builds that want warmth, durability, and timeless style.
Design and Shape
Softly curved corners, flared side walls for ergonomic lounging, and a 2.5-inch rolled rim define a clean, architectural profile. The refined hammering masks everyday marks while adding visual depth and tactile comfort.
Material and Finish
Forged from 16-gauge copper. The medium-brown patina develops richer tones with use, echoing vintage farmhouse metalwork. Subtle satin sheen reduces glare and highlights handmade character.
Handcrafted in Mexico
Third-generation coppersmith Juan Carlos Hernández shapes each panel by hand, annealing and planishing for strength and even tone. Fire-aging coaxes warm brown undertones that deepen naturally over time—an heirloom finish with soul.
“My family has hammered copper for over a century. Every strike follows my grandfather’s rhythm, turning raw metal into a vessel of comfort and history.” - Juan Carlos Hernandez, coppersmith, Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico
Bathtub Style Influences
- Farmhouse Rustic: Warm patina, reclaimed wood, shiplap

Installation Tips
Confirm the subfloor can support the tub filled with water. Move on padded blankets, protect the finish, and dry-fit drain and overflow. Level with adjustable feet or shims. Seal the waste and base with neutral-cure silicone, hand-tighten fittings, and fill-test for leaks.
Copper Tub Maintenance
Rinse after bathing, wash with pH-neutral soap and a soft cloth, then dry to prevent spots. Avoid bleach, acids, ammonia, and abrasives. Apply neutral paste wax periodically to temper patina. Do not leave bath salts, metal cans, dyes, or wet mats on copper surfaces.
Ideal Bathroom Design
Balance rustic warmth with restraint: stone or terracotta floors, warm neutral walls, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. Natural light highlights the hammering. Finish the look with woven textiles, a stone-top vanity, and greenery.
