The Birth of the Modern Clawfoot Bathtub
In the early 1880s cast iron clawfoot tubs had a painted interior. This paint would flake and peel over time. In 1880 David Buick developed a process to bond porcelain enamel to cast iron. The enamel creates a smooth surface that is easy to clean and prevents the spread of bacteria. This was the start of the modern clawfoot bathtub. In their beginning these tubs were not very luxurious or ornate. In fact, in 1883 John Michael Kohler added four decorative feet to the bottom of an enamel-covered, cast-iron horse trough and advertised it as "a horse trough/hog scalder . . . when furnished with four legs will serve as a bathtub." These cast iron enamel tubs became very popular and designs changed to be more ornate.
Why Claw Feet?
Clawfoot design is thought to be inspired by Chinese designs of a dragon's claw clutching a pearl. It became popular with the English in the 1800s when it was used to add design detail to furniture. The foot became lion's paw or eagle's talon grasping a ball. In the late 19th century this design was used to solve a problem, the elevated the tub to keep the floor dry, reducing the occurrence of rot and mold.
Acrylic, Cast Iron, Copper, Solid Surface
The choice of materials has changed over time with the additions of acrylic and solid surface. Many have moved away from the cast iron since they are much heavier and harder to install than their acrylic counterparts. The solid surface clawfoot tubs are heavy like cast iron but they have a more modern vibe with their matte finish. Did you know that copper tubs have natural anti-bacterial properties?

No matter the tub material, a clawfoot tub will fall in one of these four styles:
Roll Top
This clawfoot is designed for one bather. The drain end is flat and the backrest rounded - elongated "D" shape. Traditionally called a roll top since in most cases the rim of the tub is curved - rolls from the inside of the tub to the outside. We have included some more modern styles that have a flat rim.
Double Roll Top
Designed for two, this bath is designed with a center drain and two slanting backrests. The rim is most likely to be round with a flat area above the drain for the tub filler. We have also included some flat rim designs.
Slipper
A raise backrest elegantly slopes for comfort while soaking. The drain rim sits lower often with the possibility of clawfoot faucets installed above the drain.
Double Slipper
A double slipper bath offers the most elegant profile with two raised backrests. Designed for 2, these clawfoot tubs are designed with a center drain.
Foot Design:
The style of feet will vary between the tubs but here are a few of the styles offered:
Ball and Claw Foot
Lion Paw Foot
Imperial Foot
Bun Feet
