The Colour of Ancient Copper, Reimagined
Few things in the natural world are as captivating as aged copper — the way centuries of exposure transform a warm, burnished metal into something altogether more complex and beautiful. The BC Designs Antique Copper Patinata Blue Boat Bath captures that transformation at its most breathtaking, bringing the rich blue-green tones of ancient copper into the most personal room in your home.
Each bath is individually hand-formed from 99.5% pure copper at a gauge of 15–18, using techniques that have remained unchanged for centuries. The gentle undulations and subtle tonal shifts across the surface are not imperfections — they are the mark of a craftsperson's hand, and the reason no two baths will ever look the same. At 1700mm, this is a bath that makes a statement in every sense.
The Patinata Blue Finish
The extraordinary finish begins with the application of sulfuric acid and chalk powder to the copper exterior, building the rich antique base. The surface is then sealed with lacquer for lasting durability, before a hand-applied Patinata Blue patina layer is added — producing the deep, complex blue tones that shift and shimmer as the light moves across the surface. The effect evokes the weathered copper of grand European rooftops and cathedral spires, brought into intimate, tactile focus.
Pure Copper Performance
Copper's exceptional thermal conductivity means your bath water stays warmer for longer than cast iron alternatives — and even after draining, the bath itself remains warm to the touch. A quietly indulgent detail that elevates every bathing ritual.
