Vintage Roman Tub Faucets For An Antique Bathroom Theme
Finding the Best Roman Themed Faucet For the Bathtub - Kohler Brushed Nickel Roman Tub Filler, Price Pfister Ashfield Roman Rustic Bronze Faucet, Danze Sheridan Polished Brass Double Handle Roman Tub Faucet, and Delta Polished Chrome Teapot Style FaucetOne part of the remaining heritage of the old Roman Empire is the Roman baths. That era is recalled, if not copied, even today, through the popularity of Roman bathtubs. They may not be anything like the hot Roman baths of somewhere like Bath spa in England, but the memory does linger in the name if nothing else. Modern Roman tubs are much in demand, so not surprisingly there is a matching demand for Roman tub faucets. Top manufacturers such as Kohler, Price Pfister, and Danze all carry a range they call Roman faucets, as do many other manufacturers. Each manufacturer has its own idea of what a Roman faucet is. Take the Kohler Brushed Nickel Roman Bathtub Tub Filler Faucet. This brass Roman tub filler is a simple design made with high quality materials. Its curvaceous looks can be found at under $450 on Amazon and elsewhere. It has solid lever handles, and the brushed nickel finish makes it suitable for contemporary and traditional bathrooms and tubs alike. Price Pfister also has similar designs in nickel, but for something different they market the Price Pfister 806-YP0U Ashfield Roman Tub Trough Faucet, Rustic Bronze and many variations thereof. The list price is well over $750, but you should be able to find considerable discounts. It has ceramic disc valving, meaning that noisy drips are a thing of the past, and its unusual trough style and antique bronze finish ensure that it adds distinction to your bathroom. If polished brass is to your liking, then you will probably appreciate the Danze D302555PBV Sheridan Double-Handle Roman Tub Faucet with Valves in polished brass. This gleaming brass faucet is simple in design, and is also available in brushed nickel, chrome, satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze and Chrome with polished brass. Generally speaking, the faucets described as Roman tub faucets are far simpler than the antique phone style shower and tub faucets. Another nice example is the Delta 86040 Polished Chrome Teapot Style Roman Tub Faucet. This modestly priced teapot style faucet is curvaceous but in a restrained way. It was seen recently at under $70, not a bad priced for what is a stylish faucet which may be described as Roman, but goes very well in a contemporary bathroom You will benefit from taking a good look at the variations of the Roman faucet theme on the market. There are many of them, and some are quite unusual, both in shape and finish. |
