ach one of a kind, solid bronze Sultan Bath begins in the foundry with a perfect mixture of the finest virgin copper and tin. The molten bronze is poured within a historic mold using the purest red soil following centuries-old sand casting techniques. Following a period of cooling, our skilled artisans break the clay mold from the bronze in preparation for the polishing process. Eight distinct stages of hand polishing are applied to the entire bronze surface of the bathtub. With each stage, the artisans meticulously remove layers of bronze revealing its natural luminous golden finish. Involving hundreds of man-hours and following eight weeks of production, each piece is named, numbered and engraved with the artist's signature. The result is an authentic hand sculpted reproduction of the original Sultan Bath.
