The details on a bathtub are rarely worth lingering over. On the Brass Clawfoot Bathtub with Rope Handles, they are the entire point. The twisted rope pattern — running across both end handles and repeating in the decorative rail above the front towel bar — is a motif borrowed from naval and maritime metalwork, where rope has always signified strength, craft, and the sea. Here it appears at the scale of a freestanding bath, and it transforms what could have been a standard clawfoot into something with genuine personality.
The double slipper form rises symmetrically at both ends, lifted by four scallop shell feet — fan-shaped, sitting flat, more delicate in profile than the full ball-and-claw found on other pieces in the collection. The interior is smooth and highly reflective, the brass surface catching light across its broad curved basin in a way that the more textured hammered interiors do not. Exterior and interior share the same warm gold tone, unified across the entire piece, with natural tonal variation already developing where the brass has begun its slow, honest evolution.
This is unlacquered brass — a living finish that changes gradually over time. The warm gold will mellow and deepen, the rope details will develop their own patina in the recesses of the twist pattern, and the scallop feet will soften in tone alongside the body. Nothing is sealed or fixed. The bathtub you receive today will look different — and better — in five years, and better still in ten. Each piece develops its own character, shaped by the water, the air, and the light of the room it lives in.
Handmade in solid heavy gauge brass by artisans with over two decades of experience. For those who know that the finest details are the ones you notice after you have been looking for a while.

From the ground to your home
Born in fire, not a factory line.
Every hevna faucet and pot filler is born in fire. Solid brass, poured by hand at nearly 1,000°C.
Never plated. Just honest metal, the kind that only grows more beautiful with age.
Cast, not stamped.
Each piece is cast on its own and freed by hand the moment the brass sets. It comes out rough and one of a kind.
Just the first version of a finish that will keep changing for the rest of its life.
Hands take over.
From here, every casting is shaped entirely by hand.
The rough edges come off, the curves come up, all of it guided by eye and years at the bench.
This is the part only a person can do.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose copper or brass?
Both are solid metal with a living finish, so it comes down to tone and what the room calls for.
Copper is the classic choice for a bath: warm and reddish, it ages into deep browns and holds heat exceptionally well.
Brass runs golden and coordinates with brass fixtures and faucets. Neither is plated and both are built to last a lifetime.
Pick the warmth you want as the centerpiece of the room. The exact finish and dimensions are listed in each product's specifications.
Why copper for a bath?
Heat. Copper absorbs the warmth of the water and gives it back slowly, so the bath stays hot long after acrylic or steel has gone cold. It also resists rust for the life of the tub and naturally resists bacteria. It is the reason copper baths have been prized for centuries, not just for how they look but for how the soak feels.
Is the inside sealed, or does the water touch raw metal?
This varies by model and is stated in the product specifications. Some interiors are left as a living finish to age naturally with use, others are waxed or sealed for a slower, more even tone. Check the listing for the exact interior finish of the tub you want.
Will bath products and soaps damage it?
Standard soaps and bath products are fine. Avoid harsh bath salts and bleach-based cleaners, which can mark the finish unevenly. Rinse the tub after bathing and the patina stays even and deep. If a spot ever looks uneven, a metal polish brings it back, and the aging is always reversible. A coat of wax slows the whole process if you prefer a more uniform look.
How long will it last?
Decades. A solid copper tub routinely serves 40 years and beyond, often outliving the bathroom built around it. This is not a fixture you replace. It is the piece your grandchildren argue over.
How long does shipping take?
After processing: US 3 to 5 business days, UK and EU 3 to 7 business days, rest of the world up to 14 business days.
