Product Description
This French-style single slipper soaking copper bathtub exudes timeless elegance through its gently sloping silhouette, elevated at one end to offer a luxurious lounging experience. The profile—refined and curvaceous—is inspired by 19th-century French country bath fixtures, combining rustic charm with aristocratic sophistication. The hammered texture, applied by hand, adds artisanal depth to the surface, creating a rhythmic pattern that captures and reflects light in subtle variations. Its coffee-brown patina finish enhances the old-world appeal, showcasing warm, fire-aged copper tones interwoven with rich undertones of bronze and chestnut. This finish is not only visually captivating but also evolves naturally over time, developing a deeper character with age. The bathtub's rolled rim provides a smooth, classic contour, while the reinforced base adds weight and stability—hallmarks of high-quality, handcrafted copperwork. Together, these elements channel both vintage European spa aesthetics and practical comfort, making the bathtub a sculptural focal point with enduring visual appeal.

Handcrafted in Mexico
Crafted by master coppersmith Juan Carlos Hernández in the heart of Santa Clara del Cobre, this bathtub is the result of generations of artisanal knowledge passed down through family lineage. Every piece begins as a flat copper sheet that Juan Carlos patiently transforms using hand tools—no machinery, no shortcuts. His process includes heating, bending, and striking the copper with meticulous precision to achieve the desired form, followed by detailed hammering that creates the tub’s unique texture. What sets his work apart is the commitment to preserving traditional metalworking techniques while adapting historic forms like the single slipper to today’s design sensibilities.
Juan Carlos specializes in sculpting old-world silhouettes that feel at home in both rustic retreats and modern interiors. The signature coffee patina copper tub is achieved using fire-aging techniques that give the metal its rich depth and tonal complexity. He personally oversees each finish, ensuring consistency while allowing natural variation to enhance the tub’s character. His workshop in Santa Clara del Cobre is more than just a production space—it’s a place of heritage and artistry. To help you choose the right finish for your custom order, we recommend requesting a copper sample kit in advance.
Artisan Testimony
“The slipper shape allows copper to flow like fabric. Every strike of my hammer is guided by rhythm and instinct. It’s not just about shaping metal—it’s about honoring a story that began generations ago. Each curve is designed to hold warmth and invite rest. It’s an old form reborn for modern rituals, and each tub carries a piece of our tradition with it.”
