Antique Painted Zinc Bathtub

£1.00

A mid 19th century French painted zinc slipper bathtub that tapers in at the feet end.

Original green paint showing interesting patination.  The bathtub was reclaimed from a house in the Dordogne region of France which had been used by the US Army in WW2.  The previous owner says the bathtub had been used by the US General based at the house.  We aren’t sure whether the decorative star on the bathtub is originally part of its design or a later add on.
