Great craftsmanship is at the heart of what we do at Catchpole & Rye. We know that our customers value the high quality of our finished products, but not many people get to witness the behind-the-scenes work that goes into their creation. With this in mind, we got together with the company’s founder, Tony O’Donnell, […]
Picture the archetypal roll-top bath and there’s a good chance that the image in your mind bears a close resemblance to Catchpole & Rye’s Le Bain de Bateau. First manufactured in late 19th-century France for the fashionable aristocracy, the bateau style of bath is still seen as a luxury product today thanks to its attractive shape […]
Spring is in the air, and in fashion and interiors that means one thing: a proliferation of pastels! When it comes to the bathroom, however, a gentle, muted colour palette is not just for the warmer months – it works wonderfully all year round, creating a peaceful, tranquil ambience in a room that is made […]
‘To create something original, you must first fully understand the past’. This statement is key to the Catchpole & Rye ethos. Our business is built around a passion for antique baths and sanitaryware and a desire to preserve the craftsmanship that went into their creation; as a result, many of our distinctive products are faithful copies of […]
With Valentine’s Day only eight days away, we thought we’d focus on some Catchpole & Rye products that are made for two! Double basins In a sizeable space, a twin basin or washstand is both a practical and a luxurious choice. We lead busy lives, and being able to double up in the bathroom […]
When choosing a new bath, it is natural to focus on aesthetics – it is an investment piece that will be a feature of your home for many years, so loving how it looks is a must. There are, however, other considerations to be taken into account. Here’s our summary of the best Catchpole & Rye […]
Metallics have been big news in interiors for a while now, and the bathroom is perhaps the best room in the house to show them off. Metallics convey a sense of luxury that has become a ‘must’ in the modern bathroom and are a great way to create a spa-like feel. What’s more, their natural […]
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, and Kent does Christmas so well! Here at Catchpole & Rye we’re proud of our Kentish heritage and are keen to champion local products and services across all industries, not just our own. With this in mind, we have compiled an edit of things to see, do, […]
Our attitude to the bathroom has changed. No longer seen as purely functional, it has become an indulgent space in which we choose to linger, wallow and relax mind, body and soul. More and more square metres (and budget) are being dedicated to the bathroom, making it one of the most luxurious rooms in the […]
There has been an explosion of interest in all things Scandinavian in recent years, from interior design and Nordic noir to fashion and food. The latest trend to sweep the nation is the philosophy of hygge (pronounced ‘hooga’), which was originally a Norwegian term for wellbeing but was adopted in the 19th century by the Danes, […]
Last month on our blog we wrote about Goodwood Revival, the festival that relives the glory days of this classic motor circuit. As a celebration of history, classic design and great craftsmanship, we found it inspiring, not least because these values are the driving force behind our own company ethos. At Catchpole & Rye, our […]
“On the whole, I wish I’d stayed in Tunbridge Wells.” So says Mr Dryden in Lawrence of Arabia. And we at Catchpole & Rye wholeheartedly agree having become the newest member of Tunbridge Wells’ budding design hub. The recent opening of our showroom on Calverley Road marks the start of an exciting new chapter for us. […]
The roar of engines, the flash of flags and a crowd dressed to impress in the best post-war fashions – not the set of a period drama but a unique three-day motor racing festival on the Earl of March’s beautiful Goodwood Estate in West Sussex where vintage is all the rage. Held every September, The […]
