What is our Furniture made from?

Our wooden, vintage bathroom furniture is made from teak wood which is an exceptionally strong, durable and eco-friendly choice for your home. Teak has a high rubber and oil content which makes it water-resistant and pest-resistant, meaning your teak furniture will never rot, warp or splinter. At Scaramanga, our wooden bathroom furniture goes beyond durability, like all of our pieces – they are one-of-a-kind.

Our wooden bathroom furniture includes distressed bathroom cabinets, shabby-chic-inspired armoires, vintage wooden trays and shelves. We know that there are always going to be cheaper wooden alternatives available on the market, low-quality pieces that might look good for a year but won’t stand the test of time. At Scaramanga, we offer teak furniture because we know how important it is for you to know you’re making eco-conscious, stylish and reliable purchases. This means your teak bathroom furniture will last you for as long as you need them and become iconic pieces of furniture within your home.

A Short History of Bathrooms

Bathrooms were not originally developed with hygiene in mind, in 3000 B.C., water had strong ties with religion and was seen as a purifying element for the body and soul. The upper class had private baths built into their homes and the lower classes shared public baths, although interestingly, the upper classes would also use public baths, demonstrating their prominence as a useful and social institution. People used baths as a place to catch up with friends and enjoy entertainment.

Between the 16th – 18th centuries, the plague hit England which warped people’s opinions of public baths. They began associating public bathhouses as cesspits of disease and in 1546 King Henry VIII shut down all public bathhouses. Therefore, the use of public baths declined, and private bathrooms became more favourable, laying down the foundations of what we know as the modern bathroom. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that the bathroom became a room of its own rather than a corner of the bedroom where certain tasks were completed.

The discovery of germs as a cause of disease altered the way people thought about cleanliness and hygiene. The industrial revolution forced old habits and beliefs into the past with the rise of hot water, plumbing and gas heaters. Wooden barrel baths were decorated with tiled patterns and the bathroom was seen as a room of function. Fast forward to the 21st century and the bathroom now combines both style and functionality. It is a place to get clean, change clothes, relax, unwind and take pride in your home.
