Drayton bathtub, Victoria + Albert Baths

The classic Victorian-era day slipper bath gets an ergonomic update in this streamlined tub.

By

Victorian-era design was known for its beautiful intricacy but not necessarily for its comfort. The Drayton bathtub from Victoria + Albert Baths offers period design with contemporary ergonomic features, such as a larger bathing well and a countered, extended backrest. The 66 15/16”-long tub’s integrated ball and claw feet offer an updated take on earlier designs. vandabaths.com
