'The Gigi-LFCU-60' 60" Cast Iron Petite Bateau Tub with a Burnished Copper Exterior plus Drain
Product Details
The Petit Bateau (little boat) tub is a re-designed version of another, much older tub produced in France at the turn of the 19th century. Instead of maintaining the same traditional broad lines, our design team produced a more modern elegant, wider step rounded base and narrower roll top lip. This presents a very elegant variation and softer form of the original tub.
We take the tub as it comes from the mold and treat it to present the appearance of being dipped in pure, thick molten metal. This is not a painted or faux finish, it is actual metal, all the finish markings are natural from the mold. We apply and bond several coats of pure, thick copper before randomly hand brushing to achieve the beautiful living finish, leaving some of the original mold marks on the tub.
Finishing This is our fabulous Living Finish Copper version of our 60" Gigi tub. This tub has a pure copper coated and randomly brushed exterior; it has a thick cast iron center and a high gloss, high grade enameled interior. While we apply a protective clear beeswax to the tub exterior before shipping, the copper will naturally tarnish over time. Further applications of beeswax will slow any patina.
