These Are the 15 Best Clawfoot Tubs

There's nothing like ending the day with a nice long soak—especially if said soak is done in a tub with fancy feet. There's just something about the old-world aesthetic and intricate embellishments of a clawfoot tub that brings a touch of luxury to an otherwise basic space.

Maybe it's because clawfoot tubs evoke images of 19th-century mystique and Old Hollywood glamour—think Ava Gardner in One Touch of Venus, Greer Garson in Julia Misbehaves, and Kim Novak in Pal Joey. But aside from the refined retro charm and statement-making nature of clawfoot tubs, they also happen to be incredibly versatile, and can compliment a range of design styles.
