Magnus Copper Pedestal Tub Comparison: Kalida, Lutts, Monrovia, Vista, Arcadia & Findley
Magnus's hand-hammered copper pedestal tub collection includes six named models — Kalida, Lutts, Monrovia, Vista, Arcadia, and Findley — all built from 16-gauge copper in a double-slipper roll-top silhouette. At a glance they look similar; the real differences come down to exterior texture, interior finish, and decorative details.

The One Real Functional Difference: Interior Finish
Five of the six models have a copper interior — Kalida and Monrovia are smooth and shiny, while Lutts/Vista/Arcadia are hammered to match their exterior. Findley is the only model with a nickel interior, plated over the hammered copper body for a deliberate two-tone look. If you want a uniform all-copper appearance inside and out, avoid Findley; if you want visual contrast, it's the only option in the lineup that offers it.
Smooth vs. Hammered Exterior
Kalida and Monrovia are the two smooth-finish models — a cleaner, more minimal look. The other four (Lutts, Vista, Arcadia, Findley) are hand-hammered, giving a textured, artisanal surface where the hammer marks catch light differently across the tub. Hammered finishes also tend to show a living patina more dramatically over time, since the texture creates more surface variation as the copper ages.
Size and Price
Most models are available in one or two sizes (66"/70"/72"), with Arcadia additionally offered in a 72" x 40" Extra Wide version for $4,695. Starting prices range from $2,695 (Vista, 66") to $3,595 (Kalida, 70") for the standard sizes — size within a model typically adds $300–$450 to the price.
Which Should You Choose?
- Want the cleanest, most minimal look: Kalida or Monrovia (smooth finish).
- Want a distinctive textured surface: Lutts, Vista, or Arcadia (hammered, each with different accent details).
- Want two-tone contrast instead of all-copper: Findley is the only nickel-interior option.
- Need the most soaking room: Arcadia's 72" x 40" Extra Wide is the largest in the lineup.
All six models ship with a decorative pedestal base, no pre-drilled faucet holes (pair with a freestanding or wall-mount tub faucet), and a 1-minute care note: expect natural living-finish patina over time on any of them.
