Hand-painted Double-ended Clawfoot Bathtubs

Lindsay ~ 22 June 2007

I love double-ended bathtubs. No matter which way you lay, you’re not going to bang your head on the faucet. Understandably, your criteria for selecting a bathtub may go beyond that. Perhaps you’re looking for a clawfoot tub that is historically true to the time period of your house.

There are quite a few manufacturers out there who specialize in reproducing vintage pieces, and some even restore old tubs, making them truly authentic.

This custom hand-painted tub is one of the Saracen models from The Bath Works, a company based in the UK and the US. They restore old tubs and create reproductions. If you’re looking for bathtub ideas, they have a number of pictures on their site, both of clawfoot and on-the-floor models. The hand-painted tub shown here is called the Elysee.
