Pedestal Single Slipper Copper Bathtub

Product Description

Single Slipper Copper Bathtub with Pedestal—a timeless centerpiece that combines Victorian grace with Mediterranean strength. This freestanding bathtub showcases a classic slipper silhouette defined by its high backrest and gently sloped front, offering ergonomic comfort and sculptural elegance. The raised rear allows for supported lounging, while the deep basin promotes full-body immersion—true to the origins of slipper tubs cherished since the 19th century.

Influenced by Tuscan and Colonial craftsmanship, the robust pedestal base and smooth, flowing lines ground the design with architectural presence. The surface is finished in a coffee brown patina, mottled and warm, while the random hand-hammered texture adds tactile richness and reflects traditional coppersmith artistry. Every element of this tub—from the recycled 16-gauge copper shell to the old-world hammering technique—embodies a legacy of craftsmanship from Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico.

Why Pedestal Slipper Tub?

This free standing copper slipper tub combines utility and design in equal measure. Its high-back profile ensures restful comfort, while the deep interior invites long, restorative soaks. The pedestal foundation creates stability and elegance, making the tub a centerpiece that transcends styles—perfect in both rustic lodges and refined estates.

Design & Heritage

Slipper tubs date back to the Victorian period, offering comfort, privacy, and stately form. This interpretation respects the historical lineage while infusing it with Mediterranean architectural cues. Rounded forms and a grounded pedestal base provide a visual anchor in the bath space, while the clean lines allow it to adapt to contemporary design schemes.

Material & Finish

The exterior and interior are handcrafted using 16-gauge recycled copper. A random hand-hammered pattern delivers depth and variation, producing highlights that shimmer subtly with ambient lighting. The coffee patina is fired and aged to produce natural tonal shifts that deepen with use and care. Learn more in our patina guide.

Designing a Bathroom with a Tub

Integrating a freestanding copper slipper bathtub with a pedestal base into your bathroom design transforms the space into a luxurious retreat rooted in warmth and artisanal charm. Its elevated back and symmetrical curves naturally become the room’s focal point, inviting relaxation and refined indulgence. When designing around this tub, it pairs beautifully with earth-toned materials such as travertine, terracotta, or limestone floors that echo the warm undertones of the coffee patina. Walls in plaster, stucco, or soft neutral tiles help highlight the tub’s texture without overwhelming it. A vintage-inspired patina paired with a faucet in antique brass or oil-rubbed bronze—either floor-mounted or wall-mounted—enhances the rustic, old-world feel. Lighting plays a key role: ambient sources like wrought iron sconces or a small chandelier with warm bulbs will reflect softly off the hammered surface, elevating its visual depth.

Complement with wooden vanities, handwoven textiles, and artisanal touches to maintain a consistent rustic-luxe aesthetic. Whether placed in a corner alcove or under a window for natural light, this copper bathtub adds timeless beauty, transforming utilitarian bathing into an everyday ritual of comfort and design sophistication. Place this bathtub near a tall window or under a timber-framed ceiling to highlight its height and form. Use travertine, clay tile, or honed marble to surround the pedestal base. Wall sconces, warm brass fixtures, and a natural fiber rug help accentuate the tub's sculptural beauty. For traditional settings, consider panelled walls or stone archways to frame its presence.

Bathroom Styling Suggestions

Mediterranean Revival: Use terracotta tile, wood beams, and earth-toned plaster to create a grounded, timeless space.

Victorian Rustic: Incorporate clawfoot motifs, floral wallpaper, and brass hardware to reference classic English bathing rituals.

Modern Hacienda: Blend crisp white stucco, dark wood vanities, and simple forged fixtures to fuse heritage and minimalism.
