Product Description
This old country hammered copper bathtub exudes timeless elegance and rustic sophistication, embodying a design aesthetic deeply rooted in European farmhouse and early American homestead traditions. The old country hammered copper tub standout feature is its vivid verdigris green patina exterior, a naturally oxidized finish that develops over time as the copper reacts with moisture and air, giving it a mottled, seafoam-blue texture reminiscent of aged architectural copper seen in antique roofing or old fountains. This finish contrasts beautifully with the tub’s warm, hand-hammered copper interior, which displays soft, irregular dimples, evidence of meticulous artisan craftsmanship using traditional metalworking tools. This bathtub combines utilitarian functionality with timeless art, offering not just a bathing fixture but a statement piece rich in warmth, story, and old-world charm.

Verdigris Green Copper Tub Design & Features
Shape & Silhouette
This handcrafted copper bathtub features a symmetrical double slipper shape, where both ends rise in a gentle arch, creating ergonomic reclining surfaces. The tub narrows slightly toward the base, offering a balanced, sculptural appearance. A broad, rolled rim adds structure and serves as a subtle decorative frame around the tub’s mouth.
Surface & Texture
The exterior is finished with a verdigris green patina, which appears naturally over time or can be artisan-applied for immediate vintage charm. Inside, the hand-hammered copper showcases warm, glowing tones with soft indentations formed by traditional metalworking techniques. These irregularities reflect both the beauty of the material and the hands that shaped it.
Why Choose a Verdigris Patina?
Choosing a verdigris patina for your copper bathtub brings a sense of timeless elegance and artistic depth to your bathroom. This naturally aged finish, known for its striking turquoise-green tones, forms as copper reacts with moisture and air, creating a living surface that evolves beautifully over time. Unlike synthetic finishes, verdigris offers a one-of-a-kind aesthetic rooted in tradition and craftsmanship. It evokes the rustic charm of European manor homes, antique fountains, and historical architecture. Beyond its visual appeal, a verdigris patina helps mask water spots and wear, making it both practical and low maintenance. Ideal for rustic, farmhouse, or vintage-inspired spaces, this finish transforms your tub into a statement of heritage and artisan beauty.
