NEW | Hammered Brass Finish from Drummonds

12 Jul 23

Now available to order on four of Drummonds’ classic cast iron baths - Tamar, Tay, Usk and Wye - the new Hammered Brass finish is a uniquely luxurious craft process. Beginning with wrapping the bath exterior in sheet brass, this is then beaten into place by hand with mallets, creating characteristic undulations and dimples. Finally, the metal is polished to a high shine and then lacquered to preserve the natural warmth and gleaming lustre of the brass. 

Based on a traditional ‘bateau’ shape, Drummonds’ freestanding baths makes striking centrepieces for today’s bathrooms. They celebrate the many artisanal processes involved in the making of Drummonds’ cast iron baths: from the pouring of the molten iron to the dry frit enameling, each bath takes several weeks to make - even before the specialist hand finishing.
