Oxford Soaking Bath

Description

The Oxford is our soaking bath — narrower at the shoulder, deeper at the base, drawn to hold a body still.

Where the Kensington reclines and the Windsor rests on paws, the Oxford asks something quieter of the room. It is a bath for one — for the long soak at the end of a long week, for the slow re-entry into evening. The walls rise straight and the copper sits close, warmed by its own hammered skin. Water finds its level fast and holds its heat longer than any bath twice its footprint.

Made in Kent

Each Oxford is raised by hand at our workshop in Kent from a single sheet of sixteen-gauge copper. The hammering — thousands of measured strikes — is what gives the surface its faceted, moving light. No two Oxfords wear the same texture. The interior and exterior are finished in antique copper — a warm, oxidised tone that deepens with age.

Care

Copper lives. Wipe with a soft cloth after each use to keep the surface even. The antique finish is unsealed — small water marks and hand-prints will settle into the patina over time. This is not a fault; it is the copper answering to your household.

Made only when ordered. Numbered and stamped by the raiser who worked it.
