Catchpole & Rye’s new Bateau roll-top bath, with its hand-beaten copper body, is inspired by fireside bathing. A baked-on, burnished compound gives a shimmering yet practical finish, easily maintained with a quick wipe and non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. It might look a weighty piece, but the tub is actually light enough to lift and move around, just like its traditional cousins, should you fancy a change of scene. Soak in front of the stove, anyone?
