“To create something original, you must first fully understand the past”. This statement is key to
the Catchpole & Rye ethos, a business built around a passion for antique baths and sanitaryware – and a desire to preserve the craftsmanship that went into their creation

The story begins with founder, Tony O’Donnell, an expert in bathroom antiques. With a passion to sell, restore, and maintain, the firm started to make original copies, staying true to the traditional methods used historically. Still equipped with a desire to preserve the beauty of antique baths, this thread of passion runs through their current collection, of which we’ve highlighted just a few... The Saracen bath is based on an early 19th century bath manufactured in Lyon whilst the Sentinel canopy bath is a stunning replica based on an Edwardian design – a piece boasting original style, with the added benefit of modern engineering to ensure the most luxurious bathing and showering experience. Some of Catchpole & Rye’s designs
are born as a result of a specific find. The Kinross marble washstand was originally commissioned for a stately home in Scotland and was based on an original Shanks & Co basin that had been found in the basement. Catchpole & Rye’s pieces are a result of a fascinating history of bathroom trends. Take the La Cage for example, inspired by a 19th century French original and made

(19th century France) or The English (classic Edwardian) tap heads. Catchpole & Rye designs combine historical authenticity with modern-day functionality, making
them the perfect choice for homeowners who want a classical aesthetic without losing any of the comfort or luxury we expect of a contemporary bathroom.
