Antique Double Ended Bathtub with Ball and Claw Feet by George Jennings

About the Item

A large antique double ended bathtub with stylised ball and claw feet, by George Jennings, circa 1880. This cast iron bath’s previous home was a country house near Cirencester. It is of English heritage and Victorian style, and will certainly make a perfect fit for a country home or vintage style townhouse. Its interesting fish shaped feet and smooth white painted finish only compliment its overall style. This beautiful bath also comes with a rare antique mixer tap in polished brass. George Jennings (Est. 1838) Jennings was a keen designer and influencer of the underground ‘public convenience’. After a substantial inheritance left to him by his grandmother, Anne Jennings, George was able to begin his sanitary career. A high point of his career included the Medal of the Society of Arts awarded to him by Prince Albert in 1847. Four years later, Jennings installed his Monkey Closets in the Retiring Rooms of the Crystal Palace at The Great Exhibition. This cemented his success in the sanitary world and his invention of the first flush toilet was revolutionary. Over 800,000 people paid a penny to use his flush toilets at the Exhibition, which coined the phrase ‘to spend a penny’. After this people became fascinated with the new flush toilet. There were over 200,000 installed in London four years later.
