Message: | A clawfoot bathtubs, also called a free standing bathtub, is a tub that is elevated from the floor and typically supports itself with feet. Quite different from the traditional drop-in bathtub, the clawfoot bathtub comes in many shapes, styles, colors and configurations.
The most common and familiar clawfoot tub is the traditional roll rim bath. Rolled rim tubs are based on the original cast iron tubs which were made by the millions between 1890 and 1940. The typical vintage roll rim bathtub measures 5' long – just big enough to fit into the standard post-World War I American bathroom. Standard clawfoot bathtub sizes are 4', 4.5', 5', and 5.5', lengths to fit all sizes of people and spaces. |
