About the Item
An incredibly rare antique glazed stoneware bath tub manufactured by Twyfords in the 1890s. This fantastic piece of English sanitaryware history is one of two similar Twyfords baths we have for sale ex. the Simon Kirby Museum of Bathroom Sanitaryware.
Prior to entering Kirby’s private collection, this antique bath was previously situated in Somerset House, London; formerly a Tudor palace belonging to the Duke of Somerset.
Crafted from fire clay, this large antique bath tub features an off-white coloured glaze to the exterior, decorated with ornate cane coloured swag embellishments; a rare find, as baths like these manufactured by Twyfords normally had plain exteriors.
It is elevated by four original matching glazed stoneware feet and is gloriously deep, a teak wood rail to the front edge aiding access into and out of the curved tub.
Once restored and functioning, this antique bath will make an exceptional heritage piece for a period bathroom, offering a rare opportunity to purchase a true antique of English sanitaryware history.
