Doesn't this scene remind you of a 19th century painting? That's the power of the Delafon Bath, a sculptural tub that brings elements of the Victorian age to life. <a href="http://www.thewatermonopoly.com/product-detail/delafon-bath" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Delafon</a> is a reproduction of a French cast iron bath originally manufactured by Jacob Delafon in the early 1900s.
