The Stowe Freestanding Brass Bath from Rutland London is a magnificent interpretation of the classic 18th-century French Bateau bath, combining timeless European elegance with exceptional English craftsmanship. Defined by its graceful boat-shaped silhouette, generous double-ended design and beautifully sculpted skirt, the Stowe creates an unforgettable centrepiece within the world's most luxurious bathrooms.
Inspired by the refined bathing traditions of eighteenth-century France, the Stowe embodies understated sophistication and enduring beauty. Its elegant double-ended design provides exceptional comfort from either end of the bath, creating a luxurious bathing experience equally suited to prestigious private residences, boutique hotels and carefully curated interior design projects.
Each Stowe Freestanding Brass Bath is expertly manufactured from solid brass before being individually finished to order by skilled colleagues in our family-owned Hampshire factory. Finishing every bath to order enables Rutland London to offer an exceptional level of bespoke customisation, allowing clients to specify a wide variety of interior and exterior finishes to complement their individual project requirements.
The Stowe is available to purchase in a stunning Polished (Unlacquered) Brass finish to both the interior and exterior, celebrating the warmth and natural beauty of solid brass. The bath may also be specified with or without an overflow, providing complete flexibility for both traditional and contemporary bathroom designs.
As a genuine living brass finish, Polished (Unlacquered) Brass naturally develops a rich and distinctive patina over time. The appearance and rate of this ageing process will vary depending upon the environment in which the bath is installed, gradually creating a finish unique to every piece. This natural evolution is one of the defining characteristics of unlacquered brass and contributes to the individuality and enduring character of the bath.
For clients wishing to retain the original polished appearance, Rutland London also offers a range of protective lacquered finishes, bespoke painted exteriors and alternative decorative treatments. Our colleagues would be delighted to advise on the most appropriate finish based upon your design aspirations and the environment in which the bath will be installed.
The Stowe Freestanding Brass 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, allowing every element of your bathroom to be specified to the same uncompromising standard.
Every Stowe Freestanding Brass Bath reflects the craftsmanship, heritage and bespoke manufacturing expertise that define Rutland London. Should you wish to discuss alternative brass finishes, bespoke paintwork or your bathroom project, our colleagues would be delighted to assist at
