Lead 1800's Cast Iron Bathtub Jean-Baptiste Andre Godin
Description
Exceedingly scarce mini cast iron bathtub. Circa 1800's and made by Jean-Batiste Andre Godin in Guise Aisne France. I found one reference that this was more than likely a garden planter rather than an infant's bathtub. Overall nice condition, does show some heavy oxidation to inside bottom which would be characteristic of a planter. Photos are part of the description. Below is information about the maker. Jean-Baptiste Godin was a successful entrepreneur whose name is familiar to every Frenchman as a manufacture of cast-iron stoves and enamelled bathtubs. He was also the builder of a workpeople`s colony that remains as one of Europe`s outstanding monuments to 19th century socialist idealism. Godin was born in Esqueheries (Aisne), the son of a locksmith, and began to work in an iron foundry at an early age. In 1834, like ambitious craftsmen in many European countries, he went on the tramp, seeking to gain experience by plying his trade alongside skilled workers in other towns. He returned to Esqueheries in 1837 to establish a foundry making heating stoves, which quickly prospered. In 1846 he moved his business to Guise in order to take advantage of that town`s railway facilities. His foundry prospered and at its peak in the first decade of the 20th century employed more than two thousand workers. Location, row one
