Why Choose This Mexican Copper Bathtub?

This handcrafted copper bathtub is more than a bathing fixture—it's a tribute to artisanal heritage. The deep basin and reclining ends ensure comfort, while the dark patina and textured finish offer warmth and bold visual impact. Its historic silhouette integrates easily into rustic, colonial, and transitional bathroom designs, providing both elegance and authenticity. Ideal for statement bathrooms seeking balance between sculpture and function.

Design & Historical Style

The double slipper form recalls 19th-century soaking tubs, while the ring handles and rounded base draw from Spanish colonial and Mexican hacienda roots. The profile is bold yet inviting, perfect for traditional spaces that appreciate handcrafted detail. Whether surrounded by plaster, tile, or exposed brick, this bathtub enhances any setting with grounded sophistication.

Material & Texture

Crafted from 16-gauge high-purity copper, each tub is shaped, hammered, and aged by hand. The uneven hammering gives the surface an organic richness, emphasizing that no two pieces are alike. The coffee patina, achieved through open-flame oxidation, will continue to evolve as it responds to water and air, giving your bathroom a living finish over time. For finish variations, view our patina guide.

Bathroom Design with Mexican Bathtub

When designing a bathroom around this Mexican hammered copper bathtub, one should weave together complementary materials and colors that accentuate its artisanal character. Begin by choosing earth-toned tile or natural stone flooring—such as terracotta or slate—with muted grout lines to maintain a seamless, grounded look. Walls finished in a soft lime plaster or warm neutral paint will allow the tub’s patina to sing, while wrought-iron sconces or a rustic chandelier overhead provide just enough contrast and ambient glow. Introduce handcrafted wooden elements—a distressed wood vanity or a floating shelf—to echo the bathtub’s hand-forged feel. Layer in woven textiles, like jute rugs and linen curtains, to soften harder surfaces, and frame a large window or niche with lush potted greenery to bring the outdoors in. Finally, accent the space with copper-tone faucets and fixtures that harmonize with the bathtub’s hue, creating a cohesive, sanctuary-like retreat where every element feels intentionally curated around the centerpiece tub.
