Vintage Richmond Free Standing Bath Tub

A rare survivor from the golden age of the American bathroom, this cast iron slipper-style clawfoot tub presents a compelling opportunity for the discerning restorer or period interior enthusiast. Consistent with late Victorian to early Edwardian manufacture — circa 1890–1915 — the tub's double-ended silhouette and classically rolled rim speak to an era when the bath was a room of genuine ceremony.

The interior white porcelain enamel retains its structural integrity, showing only the surface crazing, light staining, and minor scratching that a century of use earns honestly. The exterior tells a more weathered story — peeling cream paint revealing raw cast iron beneath, with rust spotting along the lower body — yet this is precisely the canvas a skilled restorer craves. All four original ball-and-claw feet accompany the piece, detached but fully intact in form.

Most remarkably, the original brass deck-mount cross-handle faucet set remains in place, complete with a coiled hand-shower and bell-shaped head — patinated, verdigris-kissed, and irreplaceable. Richmond-marked and historically dated 1930–1938, this is architectural history you can restore.
