Bathtubs | Clawfoot

Vintage claw foot tubs

are a beautiful addition to a bathroom, especially when the decor is geared to a vintage look. Clawfoot tub sizes and materials vary. They are available in cast iron clawfoot 54" tubs, to clawfoot tubs that are 72" and made of various materials. Cast iron clawfoot tubs and acrylic clawfoot tubs are among the most sought after. Cast iron is traditional and very durable, but acrylic claw foot tubs are warmer to the touch and suffer less clawfoot tub heat loss.

Acrylic clawfoot tubs also have the advantage of being available in whirlpool and jetted versions, if you want the extra luxury and therapeutic benefits available in these bathtubs.

Roll Rim Clawfoot

which in it's original version was produced in cast iron, and the most popular bathtub for the fifty years prior to 1940.

Slipper Clawfoot Tubs

are very appealing to the eye, and a more comfortable option with their high back.

Double Slipper Tubs

have high back construction at both ends, a center drain and side mounting faucet systems.

Double Ended Claw Foot tubs

are rounded at both ends and feature a center drain and side mounted faucets.

The Pedestal Tub takes us back to the art deco designs of the Roaring 1920's and 1930's. Rather than claw feet, pedestal tubs have a solid enclosed base that unites it solidly to the floor.
