The Marlborough Freestanding Copper Bath from Rutland London is an exquisite interpretation of the classic 18th-century French Bateau bath, combining timeless European elegance with exceptional English craftsmanship. With its graceful boat-shaped silhouette, double-ended design and beautifully sculpted skirt, the Marlborough creates an unmistakable focal point for the world's finest bathrooms.
Inspired by the luxurious bathing traditions of eighteenth-century France, the Marlborough embodies understated sophistication and enduring beauty. Its generous double-ended design offers exceptional comfort from either end, creating an indulgent bathing experience that is equally suited to elegant private residences, boutique hotels and prestigious interior design projects.
Each Marlborough Freestanding Copper Bath is handcrafted from 99.5% pure copper, a material renowned for its remarkable durability, natural warmth and distinctive character. Following manufacture, every bath is individually finished to order by skilled colleagues in our family-owned Hampshire factory, allowing Rutland London to offer an exceptional level of bespoke customisation. Clients may specify a wide range of interior and exterior finishes, enabling every bath to be tailored to complement the wider interior design scheme.
The Marlborough is supplied as standard in a striking Polished Copper finish to both the interior and exterior, showcasing the natural beauty of pure copper. The bath may also be specified with or without an overflow, offering complete flexibility to suit the requirements of individual projects.
Unlike lacquered metal finishes, Polished Copper is a natural living finish that develops a rich and distinctive patina over time. This ageing process is an inherent characteristic of genuine copper and creates a finish unique to every installation. Due to the nature of the material, Polished Copper will naturally age more rapidly than many other unlacquered finishes, including Polished (Unlacquered) Brass and Polished Nickel, gradually developing greater depth, warmth and individuality as it matures.
For clients wishing to preserve the original appearance of the bath, Rutland London also offers a range of protective lacquered finishes, bespoke painted exteriors and alternative decorative treatments. Our colleagues would be delighted to discuss the most appropriate finish for your project and provide guidance based upon your intended environment and design aspirations.
The Marlborough Freestanding Copper Bath pairs beautifully with Rutland London's collections of luxury freestanding bath fillers, wall mounted bath taps, marble vanity suites, basin mixers, heated towel warmers, showers and handcrafted bathroom accessories, enabling every element of your bathroom to be specified to the same uncompromising standard.
Every Marlborough Freestanding Copper Bath reflects the craftsmanship, heritage and bespoke manufacturing expertise that define Rutland London. Should you wish to discuss alternative copper finishes, bespoke paintwork or your bathroom project, our colleagues would be delighted to assist at
