Why choose the Ashton & Bentley Aegean?

The Aegean occupies a rare and compelling position in the freestanding bath market -- a bath that is simultaneously historically grounded and thoroughly contemporary. The French bateau tradition is one of the most celebrated in the history of luxury bathing, and the Aegean honours this heritage with complete sincerity whilst bringing it forward through contemporary lines and the exceptional quality of Correro stone resin. The result is a bath that feels timeless in the truest sense -- not trying to look old, not trying to look new, but simply looking exactly right.

The commanding 710mm height is a distinctive characteristic of the Aegean that sets it apart from other bateau-inspired designs. This elevation gives the bath a presence and authority that reflects the grandeur of its historical inspiration -- a bath that demands to be looked at as much as used, and that rewards the space given to it with a focal point of genuine distinction.

The finish options available for the Aegean are extraordinary in their range and ambition. The Molten Metal finishes in Nickel, Platinum, Brass and Copper give the Aegean a visual quality that is entirely unlike any other freestanding bath -- the appearance and warmth of cast metal combined with the practical performance of Correro stone resin. The Farrow & Ball palette allows for precise and considered colour coordination, whilst the Correro colour options open up a world of bespoke possibility. For those who want the finest contemporary interpretation of the French bateau freestanding bath available in the UK today, the Aegean is the definitive choice.
