Put Your Best Foot Forward

Today’s technology has given us bathtubs with massaging water jets, plug-ins for digital music, and lighting that turns the water into a Technicolor experience. The technology of yore gave us bathtubs with feet.

Although contemporary tubs have more bells and whistles, clawfoot tubs from simpler times have endured and remained in vogue. With feet made from chrome, brass or cast iron, they are both an antique-looking conversation piece for your bathroom, and a functional fixture that will help you relax and keep you clean. You can find truly vintage-looking clawfoots that come in cast iron, as well lighter versions made from acrylic.  See the slide show >
